Unable to login after playing with rc.local file

Question

I was trying to run a terminal command on startup in my ubuntu 14.04.02

xrdb ~/.Xresources

I found this method in super user in which /etc/init.d/rc.local file is edited. As mentioned in that post I added my code to top of rc.local file using root privilages and saved it.

like this

# Resource file load
xrdb ~/.Xresources
#End

but after restarting I am unable to "properly" login to the system. After login into the system I can only see a home folder and a trash folder in my desktop. No panel, launcer bar noting when i tried to open home folder I am able to reach home folder but after that navigation is not possible (including search) system hangs. Any idea how to solve this problem

Answer 1

The answer says: /etc/rc.local and not /etc/init.d/rc.local

Use Ctrl+Alt+F1 for a terminal. Log in and open /etc/init.d/rc.local:

sudo nano /etc/init.d/rc.local

Remove this:

# Resource file load
xrdb ~/.Xresources
#End

And besides, the line xrdb ~/.Xresources does no not make any sense.

After that:

sudo service rc.local restart
sudo service lightdm restart

Or in other words: Use TTY1 to correct your changes.
