Can anyone help me, I cant log-in to my laptop. Looks like its just looping back to the login screen.
What may have caused it, I was downloading a dataset from Kaggle. Then I had to open the terminal and and type chmod 600 ~/.kaggle/kaggle.json (as shown here), I got an error so I put sudo chmod 600 ~/ pathname When I ran the second command It couldn't find the path and when I checked my files/folder in home it said "You dont have the permission to access these files". I have tried the following methods from AskUbuntu forum:
- Can't log in my ubuntu laptop, login loop
- Ubuntu stuck on login screen
But the problem still exists.
After using the first method I see the following output on my terminal
but I am still stuck at the login loop.
EDIT : The image I get after running the this command find ~vat26 ! ( -readable -writable -user vat26 ( ! -type d -o -executable ) ) -ls |& tee /tmp/vat26-permissions.log (as asked by @David Foerster) is this :
command-line permissions login-screen

Can you login via a term? (ctrl+alt+f4). Check your disk space also (df -h) as if you've got no space for necessary temporary files in your $HOME directory, login will stop & return you to login screen. If you have space, permissions would be next...

Could you please edit your question to include the output ofsudo -u vat26 find ~vat26 ! ( -readable -writable -user vat26 ( ! -type d -o -executable ) ) -ls |& tee /tmp/vat26-permissions.log(skip thesudo -u vat26prefix if you're already logged in as uservat26). This will also save the output to a file/tmp/vat26-permissions.logwhich you can then share as described in the answers to the questions linked in my previous comment. Thanks.

Boot a live session on your laptop from installation DVD or USB. Within live session in the file manager identify your drive. Open terminal and change directory to your home folder on the drive.
With
sudo chmod 755 /path_to_your_home_folder
you can fix your file permissions.
Note: path to your home folder will be in the live session like this: /media/disk_UUID/home/username

If he is still logged in then sudo chmod 755 /home/user_name/ is appropriate.
