Remove start up application using command line
 

Hello everyone,

I am using ubuntu 12.10. My monitor is little old and some time it gives trouble.

I have put a command compiz --replace in my start up application, since then my monitor does not show desktop after log-in, it is closed automatically.
The cpu is on but the monitor is off and on/off switch can't make it working, the only way is restart.

I can see my log-in screen and as I enter my user name and password, monitor is closed automatically.

I know the start up applications are executed after log-in that's why it is closed automatically.

I can go on command line using ctrl+alt+f1.

Please give me a solution to remove this start up application using command line.

I should have made a shell script and put this command there. So I could rename the script using command line and my problem would be solved but unfortunately I have put the command there. Please tell me the way to remove this using command line.

Thanks

Start a different fail-safe session instead from login screen.

or

# sudo apt-get purge compiz compiz-plugins-main-default libcompizconfig0

(if you have another desktop)

or

use gconftool-2

gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1

(safe)

or

edit the relevant config files ...

If you can go on command line using ctrl+alt+f1, just log-in as root (if you can) or log-in as your regular user.
Run following command.
where start-up-allication-name is the name which you put while creating application.
suppose your application name is compiz in your start up application, run following command.
If you are logged in as regular user, run
I hope, it will help.

Thanks... it worked for me.
Now my monitor is started and that start up application is deleted.

I thought there is a way like to do something with rc.d, I was searching about my solution so I found this.
but your way is different, thanks it worked for me.
