So I've already looked at the guide that asked me to just change ~/.profile from recovery, but unfortunately I cannot do that since my home directory is encrypted and when I try to decrypt it from root recovery, I just get the message that my

encrypted private directory is not set up properly

I really appreciate any help be it getting access to my encrypted home directory or forcing ~/.profile to not load at startup.

  One possible workaround might be to change your user's login shell to one that doesn't read .profile (tcsh for example - in fact pretty much any csh - or zsh) - you should be able to do so from recovery mode (after remounting the root filesytem in read-write mode) using chsh

  @steeldriver Thank you so much for your help! I ran 'sudo apt-get install tcsh' & 'chsh -s /bin/tcsh chaoscrasher' from recovery, I still get the same problem on login. Anything I'm doing wrong?

  @steeldriver I actually was able to login with a x2go connection & fix the problem, so I guess that's nice.

  Perhaps you would consider adding that as an answer (explaining the steps)?

  Well, it's only useful if you happen to have an x2go server running when this happens, so this would be a very special case solution. Should I still add it?
