Hi all,

My Ubuntu 16.04 system has suddenly stopped working.  By that I mean that
it gives me the graphical login prompt, but when I type in my password, it
just re-displays the login prompt.

The problem isn't an invalid password.  It seems to be related to some sort
of permission problem, I'm guessing, but I can't figure out where to start
looking to solve this.  I've looked at the Xorg.0.log file in /var/log and
also the .xsession-errors file in my home directory but I can't find any
sort of smoking gun that tells me why Ubuntu won't load my desktop.

Any help appreciated.
