Hi all. I did my sudo apt-get update // sudo apt-get upgrade yesterday and it completly messed up my ubuntu partition.
When I tired to log in it would accept my password, the screen would go blank for about 2 seconds then it would show me the login screen again. After I spent the better part of 2 days working on this issue I had to " sudo aptitude remove lightdm." Now I'm able to login but a bunch of things are now not working right.
When I click on mozilla it doesn't open. When I type in a command in the terminal I get about 400 blank lines then the last part of the output I should have recieved. Also some normal commands like "cd" don't work now. I copied some of the output:
[EDIT]unfortunatelyit doesnt copy from ubuntu to windows very well.... Anyways it has like 426 blank lines then shows the last 30 or so lines of the output i asked for... [EDIT]
"cd" works if I don't need root privileges or if I do a "sudo -i" first and don't need to type "sudo." .. weird w/e.
Any help you can give me would be very much appreciated!
