I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on a usb stick and have been running it from there. I was messing around with the "Login Screen" utility and changed the session choice to "User defined session" (or something similar). I thought this would allow me to pick the session to use (Unity, Gnome) but that was wrong. So right now, when I login, I have a blank screen with no menu bars. If someone could give me the commandline command to run the "Login Screen", I should be able to switch it back.

Thanks.

Steve

Well actually, I can't even start a terminal screen so now I'm not really sure how to fix the problem without reinstalling everything on the USB stick.

Problem Solved:

When rebooting, I chose the live user (ubuntu) account to login in and at the bottom of the screen was an option to choose what session you want to use. I chose "ubuntu" and was then able to reset the preferences for the login screen.
