"I tried to login with my username and password at the lightdm display
manager, but it keeps kicking me out and returning me to the login
screen."

With   Ctrl+Alt+F...   change to a tty.

Post the output of grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of
lightdm's log files
( https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ubuntu+lightdm+log+file ;).

Perhaps even relevant output is too long to post it here, if so send a
link to http://pastebin.com/ or a pastebin alternative were you posted
the output.
