Check permissions on '~.Xauthority' file maybe (think it should be
gene:gene). Maybe that file is 'stale' (whatever that might mean). Maybe
you could move it out of the way and see if you can log in then.
curty@einstein:~$ ls -l .Xauthority
-rw------- 1 curty curty 102 Aug 3 09:17 .Xauthority
I'm a lightdm user myself.
You might also try 'dpkg-reconfigure lightdm' (which might overwrite a
corrupted config with something fresh).
Stabs in the dark. You enter username/password and it says: "Incorrect
password. Try again, Gene"?
