Login loop after upgrading to 19.04
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I used the built-in upgrader to upgrade to 19.04 today, and I'm now stuck in a login loop. I have tried many solutions from forums, but nothing has worked. Is there something I'm missing or anything else I should try?
From what I've seen, I don't think that there is an Xauthority file on my computer. I'm on a Dell XPS 15 with a GTX 1050Ti Max-Q GPU, and a Core i7 processor. I also have a Windows dual boot, and while Ubuntu's my main OS, luckily almost everything is on GitHub, GDrive or my Windows partition.

Try logging in to your default desktop environment from the tty virtual console. The virtual console can be accessed by pressing the keyboard combination Ctrl+Alt+F3. Login to the virtual console with your username and password and run the following command.
sudo systemctl start graphical.target
If that doesn't work, switch the login display manager from gdm3 to lightdm. LightDM is a more lightweight login display manager than gdm3.
sudo apt install lightdm
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
sudo reboot
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm will open up a new window allowing you to select lightdm as the default login display manager. Use the arrow keys to select lightdm and press the Tab key to put the focus on <OK> and press Enter. Then reboot by running this command: sudo reboot
If that doesn't work see if you can at least switch to text mode (for troubleshooting purposes) with no GUI stuff like the X server running.

I installed and set up the login to use lightdm, however while Lightdm was used as default, I still got stuck in the login loop. Is there any other reason this may be happening, due to graphics drivers etc. ?
