Hello Guys/Gals

So i want to login to one of my VMs but when i enter my password in GUI it bounces me back to the login screen. When i press Ctl+Alt+F2 and go into single user mode i can login just fine. Why is it doing this and how can i fix this issue?

Thanks a bunch!

Did you recently change one of your ~/Xsession, ~/xinitrc, or other X-related scripts? I was playing with some of them on my machine earlier, and they override the defaults (in /etc/X11 or similar) and if your new scripts don't take care of what the deafults do, then you'll have problems

If you have them, try moving them to a different directory and try logging in again.
