I tried using some code to reset my proxy back to all 0's. It seems that I didn't put in the proper variables and now my environment won't load

if [ $(id -u) -ne 0 ]; then
  echo "This script must be run as root";
  exit 1;
fi

gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy mode 'none' ;

grep PATH /etc/environment > lol.t;
cat lol.t > /etc/environment;

printf "" > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/95proxies;

rm -rf lol.t;

I put this code in and now after I login all I get is a nice long look at my background, but nothing else. What do?

I suspect the issue may be that running gsettings with sudo has caused some personal settings files to become root-owned: try running find ~ \( -user root -o -group root \) -ls from a terminal (using Ctrl-Alt-F1 etc. to obtain a virtual terminal if you can't use a GUI terminal emulator) to identify any such – steeldriver Mar 19 '19 at 00:11
I put that in, now what should I be looking for? It also said that I'm denied permission from my .dbus – Mike Fox Mar 19 '19 at 02:49
There really should be no root-owned files there - see root owns some files in /home/user should I be concerned? – steeldriver Mar 19 '19 at 02:54
I just got back from that and did what it said. The environment is still missing. What now? – Mike Fox Mar 19 '19 at 03:03
Did you fix any ownership / permission issues? – steeldriver Mar 19 '19 at 03:29
I did, and even rebooted. But nothing changed other than the ownership. – Mike Fox Mar 19 '19 at 03:31
Hello? Are you still there? – Mike Fox Mar 20 '19 at 02:48
Sorry I don't have any other suggestions – steeldriver Mar 20 '19 at 02:59
