You have to reinstall a graphical interface.... type at the prompt:

sudo aptitude install gnome-base , for gnome
sudo aptitude kde-core , for kde

what happened was i forgot to set gdm back to the default session before removing kde. so ubuntu was still trying to use kde as the defualt session anytime i boot the system. i found the error at tty 8. i did a sudo gdm which logged me into the gdm sesseion and then i logged out and made gdm deault. that solved the problem. thanks for trying to help. appreciate it.
