Xubuntu - How I ruined and saved my day at the same time
Last Saturday, When I was trying to install some packages in my laptop which is Xubuntu 13.04, I accidentally remove some python packages and... It's just so fast when I couldn't hold my finger from stopping pressing ENTER. "CTRL+ C", "CTRL+X" couldn't help me. I rebooted, the screen kept checking my laptop's battery condition... I couldn't log-in anymore.
I googled around, and found some solutions which was useless in my case:
* Solution 1: Boot to the recovery mode of Xubuntu, run the root shell, install GDM and used it as the default display manager instead of LightDM:
# apt-get install gdm
# dpkg-reconfig gdm
# reboot
=> The GDM's log-in screen appear, I enter my account information => Xubuntu couldn't find any GNOME session. I switched back to lightdm.
=> Fail.
* Solution 2: Boot to the recovery mode of Xubuntu, select the fix broken packages line in the menu, restart
=> nothing changed.
And then, I decided to re-install the complete XFDE desktop, in the recovery mode of Xubuntu, root shell:
# apt-get install --reinstall xubuntu-desktop
restart, It worked, everything's back!!!! (Actually I had to reinstall ibus-unikey)
