Linux Lite Forums

My /home settings were migrated from 2.8, I have performed chmod 755 on my user folder, and I have partially solved the "no-GUI" problem by reactivating / (root file system)'s fstab entry.

Lite now boots to the login GUI again, but it gives me the same loop I mentioned in the past thread https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/other...reen-loop/.

There's no rush in fixing this; I don't mind waiting until the 27th. In the meantime, have a nice holiday season!

What past thread?

If by loop you mean that it will bring you back to the Login page after entering your username and password to login, it is likely .Xauthority is/got corrupted or has wrong permissions.

To solve the issue, login via Terminal and rename .Xauthority


The new file will be created for you with correct permission during next login.

I have renamed Xauthority (with Thunar, if that matters) to no effect. How close am I to having to start over from a new account?

I think it is about time you do so. You could save a lot of time just by creating a fresh new account and going from there.
