ok i uninstalled nautilus and all the software that comes with it from my ubuntu via synaptic and now my problem is when i try to login i noticed i cant select a session and after i login i get blackscreen and then it goes right back to login????

how do i fix this in recovery mode.....its my only option

[Random_Dude]

Have you tried?


sudo apt-get install nautilus

Also, you wouldn't really need to go into recovery mode - just hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to a console and run the command (and Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back to the login screen.)

Network Manager Command Line Interface (nmcli)

It may not be installed by default. If it is not, then download it on another machine and move it with a flash drive.

You can install thunar or any other file manager from the synaptic package manager. (I think this should help)

Just in case nautilus took too many things with it when you uninstalled it, try using a cable connection to the web if possible then
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
