…or two. I forcibly installed snap on my mint os. I also tried to manually remove flatpaks.
Not sure if snap affected this, but when I log in I get some error message saying : unable to launch “cinnamon-session-cinnamon” X session - - - “cinnamon-session-cinnamon” not found; falling back to default session.
Then it goes to a blank screen.
Log in to a tty then reinstall what was removed :)
Does my normal user login and password work for that?
Yes
I tried it. It just kept telling me the login andor password were wrong.
Then there’s something wrong. If you have the root password log in with it then run the command
passwd userin which user is your username.It will reset your password.
If you don’t have root access then I’m afraid you’ll have to reinstall.
One thing that might have caused confusion is that the login name or whatever it’s technically term is wasn’t the same for the user.
When reinstalling, I noticed my name and login didn’t have to match. I had differentiated the two when I first installed the os. I had no idea doing that would cause such confusion, why display one thing for the login screen but use another thing for the command line?
And at that point, just install Ubuntu Cinnamon.
Weird. It works for me. Without more info I have no idea what’s wrong
I got lazy and wound up reinstalling the os. Thanks anyways.
