Recover Ubuntu 7.04 afted enabling Desktop effects.

So you have enable desktop effects to your laptop. And now you have a crashed Operating system. whenever you boot to the Ubuntu log in after 5seconds the desktop environment hangs. Upon doing some research here what I’ve found out. You need to remove all the .gnome on your user root directory.It’s where your profile was save. upon removing these directories you will come up with a new profile with the new  configuration wherein the default config includes a disabled desktop effects.

Here’s the command that would help you recover your Ubuntu environment.

rm -rf .gnome

rm -rf .gnome2

rm -rf .gconf

rm -rf .gconfd

rm -rf .metacity 

 the rm -rf * didn’t wok for me so I have to manually input this five commands.

Hope this help.
