So, when you reboot it ends after entering runlevel5 ? Does it seem to connect to internet?

sudo apt update --fix-missing

just to have a try...

[chandler]

Yes, I think it is connected to internet..

I have attached the screenshot of error for your reference

Just startx not sudo

Have you installed any new kernels or are using any nvidia drivers?

Does your home.folder have space on it or is it full?

[chandler]

I did like you said...

But still the same error persists. ..

I am not sure about any new kernel installation. .. just a regular app updates only I believe

Also I think I have space in home folder.

[dolphin_oracle]

looks to me like your regular user cannot access your home folder, or at least the Xauthority files

try a

Code: Select all

ls -ls ~

and let's check the permissions.

[chandler]

Here it is. ...

[dolphin_oracle]

and now

Code: Select all

df

[chandler]

Here you go...

I just realized I made a typo on the ls command.

please post this:

Code: Select all

ls -la ~
