I removed the gtk+2 and gtk+3 by the command apt-get remove command. But after that, I could not log on to my system, there is no Log in screen and other GUI icons. But the PC is working, I could access the files in it through the network (using putty).

How can I bring back the GUI properties and the log in screen...
At present I can't directly access my PC (only a black screen).
Please help me, it's very urgent for me.

If you uninstalled only gtk+, command line should still work.

  1. Turn on the PC.
  2. After Ubuntu boots press ctrl+alt+f2 to switch to command line mode.
  3. Login. First it asks your username, then password. There will be no indication that you are typing password. Just press Enter after you've finished. Language settings may be different from usual, try them when asked for username.
  4. Type sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-0 libgtk2.0-0
  5. After computer finished downloading press ctrl+alt+f7
  6. Profit?

See What is a tty, and how do I access a tty? for reference.

  • If that does not help, you can reinstall full Ubuntu suite by running sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. – julka Dec 23 '14 at 10:02
  • He may have to restart his computer. By the way the question is really I removed my GUI Librarys why is my GUI not working? – LittleByBlue Jan 11 '15 at 19:14
