regards Advait Raut
your problem is very simple it always comes when you are missing something in your /etc/hosts file that mean while logging into x desktop it checks for your hostname which its not able to verify so check your hosts file give your proper ip address and hostname in that file next to the line: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
and dont ever delete that line. if missing then add.
