New Issue with Login

[masterpier]

New issue with Login. Was working ok for a bit decided to install some snaps and out of the blue got kicked out of my session back to the login screen. Attempted to login and got kicked back out to the GDM login screen. Rebooted and more of the same. Thinking this may be either corruption with my profile or one of the snaps caused Havoc on the system.

Thoughts?

Hi masterpier,

Thanks for letting us know. That loop back to GDM usually has a specific cause, and we can narrow it down from a TTY. Press Ctrl + Alt + F3 at the login screen, log in with your user and try this:

1. Check that the disk hasn't filled up, neither space nor inodes:

df -h
df -i

2. Look at the errors from the current boot:

journalctl -b -p err --no-pager | tail -n 60

3. Check that your home folder and its files belong to your user and not to root:

ls -ld ~ ~/.profile ~/.cache ~/.local

4. See which snaps you have installed. If you suspect one of them, you can remove it from the TTY:

snap list
sudo snap remove NAME

5. To rule out a damaged profile, create a test user, log out and try to log in with it:

sudo adduser test

If it works with the new user, the problem is in your profile. Please paste the output of steps 1 to 4 here and we'll take a look.

Thanks and best regards,

resolved, a snap I installed caused this issue. Name of the snap is "iptv-one". Your directions were spot on.

Hi masterpier,

Glad it's solved! Thanks for letting us know and for telling us what caused it: it may help other users who run into the same login loop.

If anything else comes up, we're here.
