Hi, Cant start my computer. Ipaddress / Display server mismatch
I changed the IP address to 21.23.60.249 using the system tools network option. But I did not change the environment variable DISPLAY to reflect the ipaddress change.
System starts, gets me to the login screen, I enter my login id and password then a message box says

with an OK button. (When the ok button is clicked)
xhost: unable to display "172.35.10.40"
(gnome-session:3377): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

When I click ok it goes back to the login screen. And never comes out of this loop.
Is there a way for me to stop the startx cmd from running and make the system come up with the cmd line, using which I could go edit my DISPLAY variable with the new ipaddress.
Thanx in advance.
