  • Welcome to Ask Ubuntu. If your $HOME (/home/user/) directory is full, or near-full and has insufficient space for the temporary work files that are needed for gui, the login fails and you return to the greeter (or login) screen. This is one cause, and what I check first (assuming it's not a new machine, or I've just changed graphics drivers etc). Given you've not mentioned doing anything, I'd check you have some free space in your $HOME
