<div>I experienced the same issue on July 5th or 6th. I am

<div>If in the end, it may be less frustrating for you to just
reinstall your OS, since you (hopefully) put your /home on a

Probably something is wrong with the ownership of your
hidden files. Have a look via ssh.<br>

now I can't get past the login to which it keeps coming
back. Password is good, I can still ssh into the
computer and I can sudo. Tried removing .Xauthority and
all the other things that are easily found using google.
Sometimes I get a MAGIC-NUMBER error but I don't know
what do with that. Any suggestions on where to look or
something else to try would be much appreciated.<br>
