Login loop ubuntu 18.10
I enter the password I sign in and it brings me back to the same login screen. When I login to tty. There is an error the command could not be located because /bin is not included in the path environment variable
I have tried source /etc/environment but it only allows me to use the commands in this tty session I have also tried sudo apt - - reinstall install xauth xorg openbox gdm3
I have tried lightdm but I still can't login I have tried installing xcfe I have tried renaming .Xauthority to .Xauthority.bak and all possible solutions I could find online but they still don't work. I think the system can't access the /etc/environment on startup
login

A gui login can also fail because you have no space in $HOME (your user directory) for necessary desktop work.files; if this condition is reached no error message is displayed, you just return to greeter (gdm/sddm or whatever you are using). Have you logged in via a console and checked you have space available in your $HOME (is it 0 bytes free or very close?). If this is your problem, you need to create some space for your desktop to create it's workfiles. You mention an "error /bin not included" - please provide the full error message.
