I was trying to get lutris with league of legends running and unturned, I needed the amdgpu-pro and I saw that people have it working on ubuntu 17.

I download the installer and it actually runs all the way through so I restart and boom login loop.

lightdm is fine.
permissions in /tmp are fine.
.Xauthority and .ICEauthority have the user permissions read and write and are owned by my user.
sudo mv ~/.Xauthority ~/.Xauthority.backup didnt help, I have undone the changes.
I tried using lxdm and it doesnt work either.
Running startx gives me these logs.

I tried uninstalling the drivers from recovery mode using apt and it works but I still get logged out immediately and the text input box on login is slightly messed up (probably because I have some messed up drivers installed as default now).

I have no idea what the problem is and I would really like to get back to Ubuntu.

GPU: AMD RADEON R9 290X

EDIT: Im dual booting linux with windows if that makes any difference.

EDIT: This happens for all users, not just mine.

did you blacklist the default radeon driver? – Tooniis Jul 30 '17 at 11:53
Edit your question to include the terminal output, or recovery mode prompt, of ls -al /home/your_username/.*thority. Start new comments to me with @heynnema or I may miss them. – heynnema Jul 30 '17 at 15:03
@Tooniis how would I do that? – 8o7wer Jul 30 '17 at 21:08
@heynnema Alright I included the permissions of .Xauthority and .ICEauthority – 8o7wer Jul 30 '17 at 21:43
