After I removed "./.config" from Home folder, I can not log in to the cinnamon session:

failed to load session "cinnamon"

What do I do?

xsession-error:

Xsession: X session started for tux at Fri Oct 26 06:35:58 IRST 2012
localuser:tux being added to access control list
Setting IM through im-switch for locale=en_US.

I am runing Cinnamon on a local machine, no on Virtualbox. but virtualbox is installed for some usage. !?

  • I already disabled gnome-setting-daemon for problems in Mate and forgotten restore it to primary state, The problem solved with this: sudo mv /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop.disabled /etc/xdtostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop
