I have stupidly uninstalled some system component. And after restart I can not login, every time I typed in the corrected username and password, the login page just bounce back.

I am on ubuntu 14.04 LTS

I have tried other solutions which seems to be not applied in my stupid case.

What could I do ?

  1. Start at boot into GRUB menu (Esc)
  2. Select the Recovery Mode for your kernel
  3. Activate the network
  4. Open the root shell
  5. Install the uninstalled components

  • thank you very much for your answer. Could you give some hints. which log file I should check according to this situation. Because I do not know which component is uninstalled. I have access to both internet and a root shell – Hello lad Mar 18 '15 at 21:27
  • "less /var/log/apt/history.log" or "zless /var/log/apt/history.log.1.gz" for older logs (Source: http://askubuntu.com/questions/21657/show-apt-get-installed-packages-history-via-commandline) – A.B. Mar 18 '15 at 21:44
