error message...after installing sun packages
 

I was trying to install a couple of the sun packages to have and after the install I get the follow error....
Xsession: unable to start X session--- no "/home/username/.xsession" file, no "/home/username/.xsession" file, no session managers, no window managers, and no terminal emulators found; aborting.
I am now not able to log into the system at all....Can someone tell me what I've done wrong? How can a repair this?

Thanks,
Travis

Maybe if you mentioned what distro you're using, and which packages
you installed using what method ... ?

Sorry about that....I meant to add that. I'm running the latest version of ubuntu...I had used the adept to search for java app...there were 2 sun packages that were not installed....I didn't write down the names of them (I know...not a smart move). After the packages were installed...the system restarted. That is when the problem started. I was searhing the web for other posts that might be related to the issue I'm having. I found one that advised to install X....
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg....when I tried that from a terminal...I got this...
dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run dpkg -- configure -a' to correct the problem
any thoughts?

Thanks for replying!

Other than trying what the message suggests - no. Not me, anyway.
Happy to move the thread to the Ubuntu-Forum for more targeted
responses if you're fine with that.

Yeah...I'm fine with that. Thanks for looking at this.
what exactly is that message saying?

Moving to Ubuntu.

To see which packages, you installed, and when,
please use this command:

ls -tl /var/lib/dpkg/info/ | less

Or to see the last ten : ls -tl /var/lib/dpkg/info/ | head -10

Creating a text list in /home/"username"/ :
ls -tl /var/lib/dpkg/info/ > last-packages`date '+%Y-%m-%d-%T'`.txt
