[SOLVED] I cannot login to one user after changing window manager....

M$ISBS · 03-13-2011, 01:21 PM

I was playing around with the window managers (in XFCE) by clicking each

one to see what each one looks like, then screen went black and kicked me

the login screen. Now I cannot login to that user, after inputting password

it just kicks me back to the login screen. I can login to another user and

the terminal. How can I return to the default window manager using the

terminal or is there a file I can delete that will automatically return to

the default setting for only that user?

Can you log in to that user if you select a different window manager from the menu on the logon screen?
Which display manager are you using? Have you tried a different one?

No, the only options are XFCE and Ubuntu. I dont know why there is a ubuntu there, I thought that was the overall distribution version anyway, I found a tip while googling to " rm -r .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd " I did that for that one user and it had no affect.

I figured it out. I deleted the /home/~~~/.config/xfce4 directory and that reset everything to the default xfce desktop config.
