Enabled Compiz, Broke System

[dirtywhiteboy]

Thinking Compiz was installed, I did a bad thing and went into gconf and set it as the wm. Not all of the Compiz packages are installed by default so when I rebooted and clicked on my username to login, I got an unknown module error. The only way I can get into the system is by recovery as root. I edited the gconf .xml file that contains the value I changed back to gnome-wm but that didn't help. I used dpkg and uninstalled the Compiz packages I could find, thinking it might default to gnome-wm without them, but no luck. How do I set gnome-wm back up as the window manager?Thanks.

with this command:

Code: Select all

gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager gnome-wm

go back to metacity thing.
