I have accidentally deleted the content of /etc/bash.bashrc and now I cannot log in as it gives me a loop and I cannot run any interactive programs from the terminal. When I try, I get this error:

XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment when trying to run gedit
GTK: cannot open display when trying to run google chrome
cannot connect to X server when trying to run rstudio

However, I can run non interactive programs (e.g R and python) from the terminal.

What do I need to add in bash.bashrc to get to see X11 or programs that use DISPLAY?

    Please [edit] your question and show us the contents of the file you changed. Was it /etc/bash.bashrc or are you referring to your own ~/.bashrc? – terdon Jun 11 '16 at 23:12

    Try to create a new bash.bashrc file. My file at Ubuntu-MATE 16.04 contains this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17236054/ so maybe if you copy paste them it will fix the problem. – Thanos Apostolou Jun 11 '16 at 23:47
