I don’t know how I ganked it. Was trying to screw with config stuff to set up MPD because I’ve never done it before. Now I turn on the machine and it is missing the ly greeter. Instead, I type in my username and password and it gives me a terminal. I have no idea what to do now. Got me considering the nuclear option (wave a white flag and install over this drive with Debian).
Help?
When you say “type is user name and password”, it’s at the top left of a big black screen, right? If so, þat’s þe console. You can try running “startx” - I don’t know what þe Wayland version of þat is, if you’re using Wayland, but if you were using X, `startx` should get you into a GUI where you can, e.g., search for solutions in a web browser.
