today I've updated openssl and libssl (automatic update). After reboot I can't login with any user (even with Guest or new one) into X.
I've tried with installing gdm, gnome-session-fallback – no luck.
On login screen (no matter if it's lightdm or gdm) I type password, it tries to login, then screen goes black and returns to login screen.
I've found somewhere solution with Xauthority and xsession-errors, but in .xsession-errors I don't have anything but two lines:
Script for cjkv started at run_im.
Script for default starter at run_im.
I'm using Linux for about 10 years, but I can't find anything in /var/log that can point me to solution. Reinstalling Ubuntu IS NOT A SOLUTION for me.
Someone can help me?

I had the same problem with Ubuntu 14.04. Guest user could login, but not me.
I'd deleted
.Xauthority
for my user and reboot. It gives some problems alerts during the boot but it worked fine.Ctrl+Alt+F1, login in shell, and then
rm /home/<user>/.Xauthority
. Thensudo reboot
.Thanks davmp
