I have the same problem on: Linux mythtv 3.8.0-31-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 10 20:03:44 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Ubuntu 13.04 xfce Fully up to date with patches. Doesn't happen on every boot, but more than half of the time it does. Since it runs mythtv and is our primary TV interface, the WAF is pretty low. esp when it wont login and I'm not home. >From a comment above - I've added an rm -f /home/paul/.Xauthority to >/etc/rc.local. I sure hope that's not going to have any consequences. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1036830 Title: Can't log in unless remove .Xauthority or use gdm To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1036830/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
