google: /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf password cinnamon

Solution

Set:

[Seat:*]
user-session=cinnamon
autologin-user=yourusername

The 'user-session'-name can be found in '/usr/share/xsessions'. So, even if it says 'Cinnamon' there, set 'cinnamon' in lightdm.conf. The same for autologin-user=yourusername (all in lowercase letters).

Of course 'user-session' could be sth else or could be left out (for starting up with default ubuntu). Leaving autologin-user empty should let you startup with the login-screen again.

At least this is how I've understood the session-autologinthing and this is what is working for me.

P.S.: Cinnamon can seem to be slow at first. Go to Settings/Effects and put off all effects.

[SOLVED] Cannot Login (login loop)

Guest62049: so it's not your passwd is not accepted, but after login - the screen turns black shortly and you are back to the login again? // case yes: switch to a text-console using `CTRL+ALT+F1` (to return later `CTRL+ALT+F7`) login in there, then check the output of `startx` (will give you some more infos) `sudo startx`
