Are you able to get to a terminal using Alt+Ctr+F1 for instance?

yes i am.

Try logging in though that and then entering


sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

to kill the X process.

then try


xstart

to hopefully start the X process over. (X is the GUI skeleton for GNOME or KDE)

xstart

xstart: command not found.

Try:


startx

Use
startx

[Yuki_Nagato]

Try: startx

sudo gdmsetup to fix it and this popped up.

gdm is not running you may be running something like kde. how do i fix this to be back in gnome to fix it?
