@ADFENO - i tried the solution mv ".Xauthority" ".Xauthority.1" . the problem
stays the same. SHould i rename it back
using mv .Xauthority.1 .Xauthority (is the command right ?)
@Lembas- I understand now. any solutions ?
@Magic banana - i am able to add new user and log in to graphical interface.
Should i elevate its status to admin, lower the original account's status to
standard and delete it ?
how to transfer all my files from previous account to this new account ?
I would rather choose to have a way to fix the old account as there are many
custom settings which will have to be redone.. any solutions.
