HOW DO I ACCESS THE DESKTOP AND LOGIN SCREEN

Asked by satheesh kumar

I installed ubuntu 9.04.

Then I added a third party software(dont remember the name) to add more visual effects.There were several options in that software.When i select one among those options the screen becomes multi-colour striped pattern.From then i couldnt access anyother option(i cant see the desktop itself).I dont get the login screen even after re-booting.The similar stripe-pattern only appears.........

I tried several options including the Recovery mode options during booting.But the problem remains still.........

anybody please me help to fix this problem..................

Hi, if you can try getting out to a terminal, you might be able to find out the rogue package and de-install it;

To breakout to a terminal;

Press CTRL + ALT + F1 (you can select F1 to F6 to use different terminals)

To list your packages;

cd /var/log

less dpkg.log

You could also boot from the live CD and see if you can view the file from there by accessing the hard drive.

Can you help with this problem?
