        <div>I experienced the same issue on July 5th or 6th.  I am
          running Xubuntu and I removed .Xauthority, viewed the xsession
          logs, tried changing ownerships and groups of files and
          directories.  In the end I was so desperate after google left
          me hopeless that I switched to a console and </div>

        <div><i>sudo apt-get <b>purge</b> x11* xubuntu-desktop lightdm

        <div>...and I think that brought me back up so that I could
          login without the loop.  My recollection is fuzzy because I've
          been fussing with a ubuntu server and trying to setup a
          openvpn for myself- so there's been a lot going on in my mind

                Probably something is wrong with the ownership of your
