Can Not access OS

[DaSpazMo]

Hi,

I removed network settings from os with the intention of reinstalling them. However upon reboot I could not access the system. This is wierd for we had it set with no pas word and the password we had for it no longer works.

I did the recovery mode edit kernel line gig. However when i reboot when i enter the username and pasword it just loops back to username, however if it is incorrect it tells me. I am very knew to linux, so if i am overlooking something very simple (which i think i am) thats why.

thanks for your time,

spaz

Hi and Welcome !

I think you have un-installed a few other packages on which X Server depends. Press Alt+Ctrl+F1 and log in as Regular user. Execute startx command and post exact error message here, if any.

Hi Devils Casper,

I hope this is what you wanted

Fatal Server Error:

If this server is no longer running, remove /temp/ .XO-lock
and start again.

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 Key
giving up.
Xinit: unable to connect to x server
Xinit: No such process (error 3): server error.

Hi there,

I found the actual command that did the damage:

sudo apt-get remove -- purge network -manager net-tools

If that helps narrow things down.

Are you logged in as root user?
Have you tried to execute startx command as Regular user? Which Distro are you using?

[DaSpazMo]

Yes i log into as main person sigmund and as tv and i get the same msg.

The OS is Linux Mint Daryna

[devils casper]

Execute this

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
startx

[DaSpazMo]

Code executed:

Responce: *stopping gnome display manager

Um i restarted to try nothing new, but im aware you may be looking for something else.

After reading your instructions again

command

then startx the os has appeared! Whoo hooo.

[DaSpazMo]

Ok

The source that gave me the original command also gave me the command to turn back on the network tools.

sudo apt-get remove --purge network-manager net-tools

Then re-boot your system and re-install them again. Hopefully everything will have to be set up again for your networks.

sudo apt-get install network-manager net-tools

However it cannot re-install. Im guesing its missing the files. I have boot cd if that means anything? Assuming that is the problem.

Cheers
