login screen reappears after successful login

Hello, I just set up Raspbian on my Pi 2B using NOOBS, and at the first boot, everything worked fine. But then I created a new user using sudo adduser and rebooted, and now I can't log in to the GUI anymore as either user! Entering a correct username/password combination simply blanks the screen for a couple seconds, then displays the login screen again. This happens when using the “Desktop” or “Desktop Autologin” options. Using the “Console” or “Console Autologin” options, startx and sudo startx seem to have no effect.

You need to add your new user to the following groups: dialout cdrom audio video plugdev games users netdev i2c input spi gpio
The bold ones are 100% essential.

Added the user to the groups using the following command:
Code: Select all
sudo usermod -aG dialout,cdrom,audio,video,plugdev,games,users,netdev,i2c,input,spi,gpio fenhl
Changed to “Desktop” mode using
raspi-config and rebooted, problem persists. Also tried “Desktop Autologin” mode, same there.
