Ubuntu Login Screen Reloads

Ubuntu Login Screen Reloads I am trying to login to my Ubuntu desktop after updating a bunch of packages and rebooting. I know I am authenticating successfully but what seems to happen is that after I enter my username and password, the screen temporarily switches to all black, and then the login page is loaded again.

"You should either remove the function keyword or the parentheses () on that line. This is implemented a little inconsistent across different bash versions --- probably your update introduced some incompatible version of bash.

For me

nameofsomefunction() {
...
}

works most of the time."
