You can try this via a samba mount on the same computer to show that there are no network related issues, but make sure to not mount your users home in his home (smbd will loop), but an empty share where your user has all rights, which is stored on a completely other directory path (not in your home). Make sure that the home directory is empty (ls -alh shows no files). Login via lightdm (Gnome Shell Fallback (Metacity) or Ubuntu (Unity)). Login will be very slow and might hang. On the server you will find in the samba logs: Oplock break failed for file .config/dconf/user -- replying anyway in your .cache/upstart/ logfiles you will find errors about dconf not being able to store it's configuration. When you restart the computer, clean up the mounted directory and either use the bind option of mount to redirect .config/dconf elsewhere or use pam_mount to mount a tmpfs there, the login will be very fast as it should be (but you loose your dconf data). Disabling locking in smb.conf also helps, but unfortunately it can be only set on whole shares (ok it could be set on file extensions, but user has no file extension).
