Hi drackololord.

Couple of quick questions to get started:


What version of Ubuntu are you running?
Are there any other Operating Systems on the machine that load through Grub?
What do you see when you boot? Do you get any kind of command prompt? (I cannot see your second Flikr image)


I am asking as it appears that you removed gdm which could be an issue.

:guitar:Lol, lol, id solved this by myself, did not need anyone help, instead, no one did!

ROFTL

ROFTL!!!

It was really easy, so easy, as I was saying, it happened before i did


sudo apt-get autoremove

http://www.flickr.com/photos/66277877@N08/6586104543/in/photostream

and how lucky I was for taking a screen shot of it, because I saw something about gnome, and some system utilities, after trying a lot of hints and randoms code, fixing MBR or grub (which wasn't) i start in normal mode, pressed CTRL + ALT + F1 or F2 I entered into COnsole Mode, i did logon with the Administrator Account, typed this


sudo apt-get install gnome

asked me for using 140 Mb, I say yes, installed (using my Internet connection) and LOLOLOL, restarted, and I was able to see my login windows, pffff

I was going to reformat, and that is so boorringgggg to me,

instead of this its saying me that "could not update iceauthority file home user .iceauthority" but that is another problem, id used my limited account, and I will fix it later, on my free time,

thanks anyway for not helping me,

the answer was inside me, after all 145 persons cant be better than me, hahahahahha

so funny

bye dudes

Glad you got it fixed, but with that said...

Nice attitude. :confused:

I was trying to help you, you'll note that my comment was that it looked like you removed gdm... Hence you removed gnome. I asked you the other questions in anticipation of assisting you.

FYI I will never reply to one of your queries again since you obviously do not appreciate anyone providing you with free support.

Best of luck on your own.

Of course I do appreciate your help, hosoulen, JUST YOUR HELP, not the others, instead i did not read everything of your answer, just the 3 first of them, i am really thankfully, specially with the one who answer me, like YOU

You must be ANGRY AND UPSET, anyway, I did have to found myself my solution, and as I told before, I should not post anything, the solution was sooooooooo easy, have to look to my own screenshots, anyway, you know more than me, really,

and I am angry with the people who only watch and dont participate, more than 100 to be exactly,

thanks again, and good luck

dont get it personally
