Ubuntu 14.04 wont login












0















I have tried this



Method1:



sudo apt-get purge lightdm

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install lightdm

dpkg-reconfigure lightdm


Method2:



ls -ld /tmp


Check for the first 10 letters in the left: they should read exactly so:



drwxrwxrwt


Method3:



mv .Xauthority .Xauthority.bak


Method4:



Reset ubuntu-desktop; unity; gnome; Create another admin account



Still all this 4 methods fail for me. I was trying to set XRDP and part of the setting is to create sessions and desktop enviroment. I do remember doing a syntax command that give a big error echo xfce4-session >~/.xsessionbut instead i did type sudo xfce4-session >~/.xsession since then cant login.
