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

There is a dropdown menu where you can tick your desired distrubution when loging in. It is where the gear icon is located here.

Please extend your answer. What do you mean with distribution? Where is the dropdown? Could you provide a screenshot, maybe like this one?
