Linux Mint does not start after renaming home directory
- by RUBY
I am new to linux and was just trying to rename the only directory in home from rk to rhk.
I messed up the whole thing and the settings. Created some new thing named rhk which I can't remember as it got all messed up and Now I am getting nothing after Linux Mint 10(julia) boots up - no start menu, no panel, no taskbar nothing.
I tried to work in the recovery mode and got some(downloaded) 216mb of something(in the repair broken packages) hoping that it might help but didn't help.
Moreover whenver I have booted in it shows messages like
Could not update ICEauthority file /home/rk./.ICEauthority
there is a problem with the configuration server. (usr/lib/libconfig24/gconfsanitycheck2 exited with status 256)
The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID: GNOME_mintMenu"
The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID: GNOME_IndicatorApplet"
Naulitis could not create the following reqiured folders: /home/rk/Desktop, /home/rk/. Naulitis
Moreover Alt+F2 gives Run application or run with file and nothing seems to be working.
