Hi Sarunas, thank you for answering.

1. I've checked .xsession-errors and now it says this:

Script for ibus started at run_im.
Script for auto started at run_im.
Script for default started at run_im.

but before I proceeded with step 2 it contained a whole bunch of lines
that were erased (apparently) after I did step 2.

2. Did that to no avail. After doing that from the CLI and it gets me
straight into my desktop but without Unity, I mean, there are no top
panel, no HUD, no launcher, no dash, etc.. There only are the files
sitting on /home/<user1>/Desktop.

Another thing I've noticed is that after I login at the virtual
console this error message is print it to the console:

no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory
