@JohnnyEnglish after remove .kde and create new user i can not login — DolDurma, Jun 10 '14 at 07:56
this is not telling me anything. Why can't you login? it logins to a black screen or it's just stuck in a loop? Did you create account password protected and everytime you enter the password it doesn't react on anything? please add more detailed information. — JoKeR, Jun 10 '14 at 08:49
@JohnnyEnglish after enter username and password thats looping and get username password again. restart x-server — DolDurma, Jun 10 '14 at 08:50
that's what you should've mentioned from the beginning. Read this http://askubuntu.com/questions/223501/ubuntu-gets-stuck-in-a-login-loop/223634#223634 — JoKeR, Jun 10 '14 at 08:52

Try these solutions:

Login to tty (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and remove the .Xauthority file and also need to remove the .xsession-errors files.

sudo rm .Xauthority
sudo rm .xsession-errors*

or also back it up:

sudo mv ~/.Xauthority ~/.Xauthority.backup
sudo service lightdm restart

Check the home directory:

ls -l /home

you may have to give ownership back to your account using chown

sudo chown -R username:group /home/username

i'm going all of this ways. not resolve my problem. .xsession-errors result: Xsession: X session started for tux-world at Wed Jun 11 10:16:59 IRDT 2014 open: Permission denied and -rw------- 1 tux-world tux-world 0 Jun 11 10:18 .Xauthority – DolDurma Jun 11 '14 at 05:54
did you do what's written in my answer? do you have root (sudo) privileges? you cannot do this as a simple user. – JoKeR Jun 11 '14 at 05:56
moving .Xauthority and chown -R tux-world:tux-world for /home/tux-world and for finish running servise lightdm restart. – DolDurma Jun 11 '14 at 06:00
remove it with commands in my answer, this tutorial works for sure otherwise you experience problems with something else. – JoKeR Jun 11 '14 at 06:03
why thats looping for get username password. i see open: Permission denied in .xsession-errors file. – DolDurma Jun 11 '14 at 06:05
permission denied because you're doing it without or you don't have root priviliges, can you login as sudo su and repeat it? – JoKeR Jun 11 '14 at 06:12
.xsession-errors content: `Xsession: X session started for tux-world at Wed Jun 11 10:51:28 IRDT 2014
localuser:tux-world being added to access control list

OpenSSL version mismatch. Built against 1000105f, you have 10001080` and looping againg for get username password
