Unable to log in Ubuntu 16.04












1















My Ubuntu is stuck in a login loop when trying to enter my desktop. When I login, the screen gets black and soon after that the login screen comes back.



do not have permissions for cat ~/.xsession-errors or sudo cat ~/.xsession-errors



I have Ubuntu 16.04
16G are available



I have tried a few things
But this is what happens (first few seconds of the video)
Pretty similar to what appears in this Link

  • @vijay where would I get more detail about my disks? I tried the methods but nothing worked. I do not have enough space for GDM. I also cannot check the xsession errors because no such file or directory
