for some reason did you run startx with administrator privileges? (sudo xstart). if so, you must change the root .Xauthority owner to your user. you should probably do the same with .ICEauthority.

Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 and login into the shell, then run "ls -lA". If you see the line: -rw------- 1 root root 58 Ago 22 17:10 .Xauthority do chown yourusername:yourusername .Xauthority.

after that press Ctrl+Alt+F7 and login again.

cya.

  • Thanks for your answer Javier A. I have done what you said but not a success, now I have installed Juno but I have 2 new big problems with it, so I guess is that Microsoft Surface Pro's are not ideal for this OS Nov 2, 2018 at 13:34

I've had that issue before as well and Javier A's answer usually works for me. There was one time that it didn't and the following command worked:

sudo service lightdm restart
