Yesterday I updated by Ubuntu 18.04 and now whenever I try to login via GUI it throws me back to login screen.

I have done the following things 1.Using Ctr+alt+F1 I have done the login using terminal and the user gets logged in 2.Removed ./Xauthority 3.Changed the permission of ./Xauthority to 777 for the user.

So is there anything else that I should try?

try to change desktop manager. In my case, change from gdm to lightdm worked. – TonyParker Jan 30 '19 at 09:04
I am using lightdm. – Rajat Seeddharth Jan 30 '19 at 09:08
See Ubuntu 18.04 Login window loop. – engineerRed Jan 30 '19 at 11:19
Actually I reinstalled lightdm and it fixed my issue. – Rajat Seeddharth Jan 31 '19 at 07:21
