Public bug reported: I did two things 1. Ran update (today. Aug 25) 2. Install Nautilus encrypt/decrypt from the Ubuntu software manager
When I rebooted, the login screen came up (even though I had been set to automatic login) and my password was accepted, but then I was immediately returned to the login screen, so, effectively, I could not log in. I was able to fix this by using Ctrl-Alt-F1 then deleting the .Xauthority file in the home folder then sudo apt-get install --reinstall xorg. I did this based on info I found online. It appears to have resolved the issue for me.
