"Dont you see it is different." No, unfortunately not. Saying "I tried everything" is as good as "I tried nothing", neither holds specific information. And your description of the issue with going to a black screen and returning to the login after entering the password perfectly matches that common issue. Anyway, thanks for updating your question so far. Do you have a~/.xsession-errorsfile with any useful messages? Have you checked permissions of your home directory and the /tmp folder?

Thank you for asking to try to help. I looked xsession and saw those pasteboard.co/HpnyrRv.jpg sorry , i am on mobile and cant write so much thing. Photo is easier. At home, i tried from other desktop, it was easier. Now i am at work and i am on panic. For ls -al , all of them are my user except dbus. It is root. Inside tmp, all of rhem are root.

@ByteCommander So, should this question be closed as a duplicate now? An answer regarding modified/etc/environmentalready exists below the linked question.

@Melebius Could be, but not necessarily. That post is linked, but as this one is answered well now, it doesn't really matter whether it gets closed or not. I retracted my close vote earlier, but everyone may form their own opinion.

Thanks to @Byte Commander,
I found the error.
In my /etc/environment
I had added export parts:
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/local/java/jdk1.8.0_171"
export ANT_HOME="/usr/local/ant"
export PATH=$ANT_HOME/bin:$PATH
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
I removed export paths and it worked.
I think I should put / to end of them. I am not sure about it. And I donâÂÂt know how can I be sure after again adding them.
I removed export parts
https://stackoverflow.com/a/23384301/9103745
like that
JAVA_HOME="/usr/local/java/jdk1.8.0_171"
ANT_HOME="/usr/local/ant"
PATH=$ANT_HOME/bin:$PATH
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
but it did not work.
UPDATE
This is my .profile , lastversion:
...
# set PATH so it includes user's private bin directories
PATH="$HOME/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
PATH="$ANT_HOME/bin:$PATH"
PATH="$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH"
this is etc/enviroment
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"
JAVA_HOME="/usr/local/java/jdk1.8.0_171"
ANT_HOME="/usr/local/ant"
and for .zshrc
i added those to bottom
source /etc/environment
source ~/.profile
Now it seems it is working. When i open a new terminal, it will source both. I dont know if this is a good idea but could not find any other way.
Glad you found a solution. Yes,/etc/environmentmay only containvariable=valueassignments, no shell commands likeexport.

Jun 11 at 10:08
@ByteCommander Thank yo. You gave ideas to look out but it was luck to check that file. I updated my answer. Without export, i tried but again,xsessionshowed same errors (maybe the old errors). COuld not login again. After updatingetc/enviroment, is there a way to check if it is correct without restarting? I suspended but it did not work.

Oh, and variable expansions like$PATHor$ANT_HOMEalso don't work in/etc/environment. You can only set fixed strings there. See also help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables

@Byte Commander so, I will define onlyJava and Antin/etc/enviroment. How will i export them for$PATH?.profile?

@ByteCommander Thank yo. You gave ideas to look out but it was luck to check that file. I updated my answer. Without export, i tried but again,
xsession showed same errors (maybe the old errors). COuld not login again. After updating etc/enviroment, is there a way to check if it is correct without restarting? I suspended but it did not work.â hristof kuallamp

Oh, and variable expansions like
$PATH or $ANT_HOME also don't work in /etc/environment. You can only set fixed strings there. See also help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariablesâ Byte Commander

@Byte Commander so, I will define only
Java and Ant in /etc/enviroment. How will i export them for $PATH? .profile?â hristof kuallamp

The way you solved it is absolutely fine. I'd have done it the same way. Very nice.

"Dont you see it is different." No, unfortunately not. Saying "I tried everything" is as good as "I tried nothing", neither holds specific information. And your description of the issue with going to a black screen and returning to the login after entering the password perfectly matches that common issue. Anyway, thanks for updating your question so far. Do you have a
~/.xsession-errorsfile with any useful messages? Have you checked permissions of your home directory and the /tmp folder?â Byte Commander

Thank you for asking to try to help. I looked xsession and saw those pasteboard.co/HpnyrRv.jpg sorry , i am on mobile and cant write so much thing. Photo is easier. At home, i tried from other desktop, it was easier. Now i am at work and i am on panic. For ls -al , all of them are my user except dbus. It is root. Inside tmp, all of rhem are root. Such as xim unix

@ByteCommander So, should this question be closed as a duplicate now? An answer regarding modified
/etc/environmentalready exists below the linked question.â Melebius

@Melebius Could be, but not necessarily. That post is linked, but as this one is answered well now, it doesn't really matter whether it gets closed or not. I retracted my close vote earlier, but everyone may form their own opinion.
