I upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04, My User interface keeps on asking me to log in again and again. I can log in by pressing CTRL+ALT+F3. I did updates Upgrades etc.

I can't find .Xauthority file, and gnome-session doesn't return anything, I gave all permissions to the /tmp directory, and reinstalled ubuntu-desktop. I am using SVGA driver, and tried to search NVIDIA drivers and can't find any. I am not sure how to automatically find a video driver and install it. Any help on it is really helpful.

  • Your X server must be crashing as soon as you login. You probably need to install/reinstall/uninstall your nvidia drivers. Check with lsmod | grep nvidia and lsmod | grep nouveau which driver you're actually running. If you have nouveau but still proprietary GL lib installation, X will crash. Also make sure your GPU is still supported in 22.04. – Matias N Goldberg Nov 27 '22 at 03:56
  • Does this answer your question? Ubuntu gets stuck in a login loop – guiverc Nov 27 '22 at 04:12
  • You have checked you have sufficient space in $HOME (your user directory), as if insufficient space is available, a GUI login will fail & login loop occurs. Text terminal logins will still occur allowing you to check & correct any disk space issues (one cause only!). Your searching for X files may mean nothing as Wayland maybe used with 22.04; but you gave no specifics as to what hardware you're using, what actual 22.04 LTS install you're using (Desktop? Server?) etc. You mention NVIDIA, does your machine have/use nvidia? – guiverc Nov 27 '22 at 04:15

    @guiverc: Pretty hard to find an answer that does not use lightdm on the above link. There are 59 answers for the OP to waste his time trying. – C.S.Cameron Nov 27 '22 at 04:58
  • i use this link, https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-gnome-on-ubuntu-22-04-lts-jammy-jellyfish . i am getting debian GUI, not able to change to Gnome or Ubuntu, still logs in as Debian. – Murthy Bhavaraju Nov 27 '22 at 05:08
  • ncdu is showing total disk usage 112.5 mib apparent size 111.6 mib items 2801.

    df-h is showing plenty of space. max I am seeing is 18% used.

I had similar issues after upgrading Ubuntu from 20.04 to 22.04.

In my case GNOME kept crashing and restarting after I logged in, apparently because of NVIDIA drivers getting messed up.

I fixed my graphics issues with the steps described here

Specifically:

sudo apt-get remove '^nvidia'
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
sudo reboot

Try running these in the terminal:

$ sudo grub-update-gfxpayload && sudo grub-mkconfig && sudo update-grub && sudo update-grub2
$ sudo systemctl reboot -i```
