It happened to me last night. I had made a change in partitions
structure to allow using many distros with one partition for each home
directory and it causes a permission problem when i created new
partitions as root. The ownner of my home was root.
My solution was:
login in terminal with
ctr +alt + F2
fredd
password
change the owner of user directory with
sudo chown -R fredd.fredd /home/fredd
My only doubt is if some app or process that use that directory needs to
be owner of its config files... Here, everything worked out after
that... But, if its your case, you can try first a not recursive command
sudo chown fredd.fredd /home/fredd

"Hi folks. I'm running Gnome 3.6 usually, and for some reason instead
of logging in automatically, I get the login prompt, and it's not
accepting my password, so I can only login as guest. What I don't
understand, and it's driving me crazy, is that if I go CTRL ALT F2, I
can login with no problem at all, so I've not changed my password or
anything. Any help appreciated; thanking you in advance."
