    Hello! Please help me to resolve this problem. I'm quite a noob in linux
    User was added via useradd command. So i'm unable to login using GUI as i do as @root. When i enter login and password for GUI seems linux accept them but instead to load desktop it becomes black for a second and force me back to login screen again.
    apt-get update'ed, rebooted. Same thing.
