No, fails. (Oh, no. Something ...)

Only the root account can start a gnome session iniated by lightdm.


Check the output of `journalctl -b /usr/bin/gnome-session` as root. Also /var/log/Xorg.0.log (it's /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old if you have restarted the X server by e.g. clicking the logout button on the "ho, no" screen).
