Failed to Start Session error
Posted: Sat Sep 07, 2019 5:26 am
Hello! I need some help with a login issue.
I did a mini.iso install on a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop. First, I left the Task-sel options blank, then, when at a terminal login-prompt on restart, I installed Lubuntu-core. It worked fine. Realizing, I wanted something a little different, I started over, did the same process, but installed Lxde-core instead. This time, when I restarted, I got to the login and password and, when I typed my password, I received a Failed to Start Session error. Going back to terminal and typing Startx gets me to the desktop. I checked that LightDM was installed and it was.
I am wondering if anyone knows anything else to check or any ideas as to what the problem is causing the Failed to Start Session error.
Thanks in advance!
