Ubuntu server 20.04 stuck in login

sb flag

I have an Ubuntu VPS that I installed lxdm as a default display manager and the xfce as the desktop environment, also I enabled auto login. I was using Anydesk for remote control.

Everything was working until recently I updated and rebooted the system.

After report I got stuck in the log in prompt, it shows for 1 second the then it disappear then shows over and over

I do not know where to start to fix this

I have SSH and VNC access

I appreciate any suggestion

Possibly your video driver is crashing. What video card do you have? (Add config to your question.)

I do not know, is there any command I can use to detect the video driver? @user10489

Something like `lspci | grep -i 'vid|vga'` and pull the relevant lines. If you are using an integrated video card, the model number of your machine would help too.

Also, I see you are running ubuntu. There's a chance `ubuntu-drivers autoinstall` might fix things.

`lspci | grep -i 'vid|vga'` did not return anything, `ubuntu-drivers autoinstall` returned `No drivers found for installation` @user10489

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
