Thread: Ubuntu doesn't boot after changing xorg.conf

it's simple title. ubuntu doesn't boot.

using recovery mode can root shell, can't use it's read-only.
if try use "remount", after 20 minutes, hangs this:

code:

fsck util-linux 2.19.1 /dev/sda5: clean, 450828/9641984 files, 7288848/38549504 blocks (check after next mount) [  219.409973] ext4-fs (sda5): re-mounted. opts: errors=remount-ro

selection "fsck" option hangs

code:

fsck util-linux 2.19.1

another thing i've noticed that, when using ctrl-c exit them, ctrl-c gets stuck on

code:

* checking battery state...

(even though use desktop computer)

phew! nevermind, managed fix this. after painstaking 1-2 hours managed find solution.

first dropped root shell.
typed in

code:

mount -rw -o remount /sda5

then, using

code:

nano

put these defaults:

• /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
• /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf
• /etc/x11/xorg.conf (you can delete 1 or clear out, whichever suits you)
• /etc/gdm/init/default

after worked fine!
hooray learning myself?
