Hi.
I installed XFCE-Desktop on top of vanilla Ubuntu. Now when I boot my PC, I'm faced with a simple screen that I can't identify, and that will only... let me reboot to that same screen. Does anyone know what that is, and how to break out of that infinite loop ?
- The screen appears after the GRUB menu, but all options of the GRUB menu lead me there.
- background image is a lake, with a wooded shore in the background, all in black/blue hues.
- Menus are: Restart, Shutdown, Language, Session (with a choice of Gnome, XFCE, and a few others) and Actions (which recaps the others, plus an option to look for an xdmcp server).
There's nowhere to enter my credentials nor exit the program. Reboot or Restart take me back to the same place... There's no help, no app name...
I've tried lots of keys and combinations, nothing happens.
I'm clueless... just hoping to find someone who knows what that thing is, and how I can get out ^^
