I'm having exactly the same problem as described in bug description.

I select my user account, then enter my password. The screen turns black for couple of seconds, like it's going to show the desktop, but instead it shows the users list once again. The only way I can log in is to switch over to another tty, but after logging in I'm still not able to get GUI.

I've tried "startx", but I get the following error message:
xinit: Resource temporarily unavailable (errno 11): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error
xauth: error in locking authority file /home/user/.Xauthority

I'm using Ubuntu Lucid Lynx Beta 1 and kernel version 2.6.32.16-generic.
