Ubuntu 14.04 wont login
I have tried this
Method1:
sudo apt-get purge lightdm
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lightdm
dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
Method2:
ls -ld /tmp
Check for the first 10 letters in the left: they should read exactly so:
drwxrwxrwt
Method3:
mv .Xauthority .Xauthority.bak
Method4:
Reset ubuntu-desktop; unity; gnome; Create another admin account
Still all this 4 methods fail for me. I was trying to set XRDP and part of the setting is to create sessions and desktop enviroment. I do remember doing a syntax command that give a big error echo xfce4-session >~/.xsessionbut instead i did type sudo xfce4-session >~/.xsession since then cant login.

I don't follow your question sorry, but thesudo xfce4.. >~/.xsesmay not have done what you expected.. You elevated permissions so you may need change ownership back to you (ie. usechmod)
