Define "login loop" anon.
Does it reboot your machine post login?

>>329821
I enter my password, and it acts like it will go into my desktop, but then it shows the login screen again.

>>329822
Sounds like X is crashing, what distro are you using?

>>329823
I'm using Ubuntu 16.04

>>329822
Try doing Ctrl + Alt + 2.

This should open a large terminal, you will be able to log in and delete config files/drivers and then reboot the machine.

Since it's only on *your* account, I'd wager there is a file in your ${USER}/.config/ directory that has faulty setting for either your drivers of x.org.

Delete any suspicious config and reboot anon.

>>329826
What constitutes as a suspicious config file

>>329826
To be more specific, I have the config files listed from the directory. What exactly should I be looking for?

>>329835
Anything xorg and driver related.

Suspicious = anything, since yo system don't work.

xorg.conf is typically the file you need, as for drivers, duno, depends on your GPU.

Deleting those from your home folder won't do much harm, there is other files in /etc/ typically that are apparently working.

Just fucking delete everything xorg and nvidia/amd related you can find in your home folder and the .config subfolder anon, I don't know how ubuntu handles drivers.
