Since I had problems with unity-greeter I had installed lightdm-gtk-greeter and it keeps looping into the login screen. 14.04 ubuntu
I have several solutions: removing .Xauthority file, reinstalling lightdm-gtk-greeter, ubuntu-desktop but no success.
When I remove the .Xauthority file and do lightdm restart the .Xauthority file is created again.
Here are the log files from /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log and /var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log

~/.xsession-errors
:It shows us that the problem is caused by a syntax error in the file
~/.xinputrc
. That file was created by im-config, but has apparently been edited accidentally. Rather than trying to fix the syntax error, it's easiest to simply delete~/.xinputrc
. It will be re-created when needed.
