I just installed Ubuntu 18.04 on a new computer.
The first user is fine. New users I created face the login loop problem.
I checked the .Xauthority and .ICEauthority files.
I reconfigured lightDM
I don't suppose the graphic card drivers are bad since the first user works fine.
I am a little stuck here.
login lightdm

There are plenty but: a) I tried all the suggested fixes (at least the the ones I could find) b) My issue has the particularity of only happening for new users. I could not find other entries mentioning that aspect (it is usually all or nothing)

ok I'm reading this : maketecheasier.com/fix-ubuntu-login-loop are you saying that with busybox you can indeed log in and that is how you then checked the secondary user's .Xauthority files?
