I am experiencing a problem that occurred all of a sudden.
When I start the system, I am prompted with the login screen. This is the first strange thing, since I have never enabled it; I'm the only user of the computer and I'm not in need of locking it, so I've always preferred to speed-up the whole process by letting it automatically login.
Anyway, when I insert my credentials, it fails to enter the system. I double checked to have entered them correctly, so this is not the source of my issue. Also, when you try to enter invalid username or password, the text-boxes are displayed whit a red background and clicking on the arrow button don't do anything. In my case, it seems that it accepts my credentials because I can click it and the boot-up process seems to go on, but after a second of black screen, I'm again brought back to the previous login screen.
I've tried to open a console, and from there I can successfully login, it accepts my credentials, so the problem is not on the corruption of the files that store them as I initially though, but rather a problem with the graphical interface or something similar, honestly I don't know.
Like I said, this problem occurred all of a sudden, the only thing that I made differently from usual on the previous session was to use the
to purge unused packages, do you think that the problem could have been originated in that way?
Some suggestions?
