  • Try Budgie. It looks nice and seems stable: sudo apt install budgie-desktop – Gryu Jan 28 '20 at 18:38
  • Have you tried touch ~/.Xauthority? Owner of file is your user: 9839386 -rw------- 1 spacer spacer 51 Jan 28 18:43 .Xauthority – Gryu Jan 28 '20 at 18:43
  • i am able to login now ... after running this command "sudo apt purge gdm3" and then rebooting but not when i ran command "clear" in terminal ....it showed "The command could not be located because '/usr/bin' is not included in the PATH environment variable" – Saloni Goyal Jan 28 '20 at 18:48
  • What echo $PATH shows? You could add it to PATH: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin – Gryu Jan 28 '20 at 18:51
