[SOLVED] change log in pref. from command line
I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.4 and for various reasons I found myself selecting a KDE session without KDE being installed. This has locked me into a situation where I can't boot up/log in properly.
I can get to a command line and start the x environment as root.
How can I re-set any user's preferences to default (via the CL)? Ie, I'd like to re-set a user (myself) so that I can again choose the log in to a gnome session.

You should be able to get to a command line login prompt by pressing ctrl-alt-F1.

Sorry! I was perhaps a bit unclear.
I can get to a log on prompt on the command line. What I need to do is to use the command line to re-set the user's preferences so when the pc is booting the next time he gets the normal, gui, log on prompt.
