You get no response at all? If you entered the wrong name or password,
you should get a noticeable error message and the opportunity to try

I have no idea. Did your research indicate a solution? However, on the
off chance that it is the culprit, my copy:
charles@jhegaala:~$ ll .Xauthority

Try shifting to a console, and logging in there. <ctl><alt>F1 to go to
the first of six consoles, <ctl><alt>F7 to get back to the GUI. See if
you can log in as your user, and then (if you allowed it during
installation) as root.
