edit /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default and remove the lines referring to mintDesktop and mintDisk.

When you get to the login screen, hit CTRL+ALT+F1 and log in in the console. then edit the file with vi, or nano, or whatever console-mode text editor you're most familiar with.

I suppose you don't know how to use vi... ok let's remove the packages then:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get remove mintdisk mintdesktop

Ok... let's try something else:
Code: Select all
sudo mv /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default.sample
See if that works.
By the way, use CTRL+ALT+F1 to go to console from GDM, and CTRL+ALT+F7 to go back to the GDM login screen.

Did you check the content of that directory?
If there is no file with the name "Default" then this error would be pretty much normal.

No it wouldn't.. we're not trying to run Default, we're trying to run mv. It looks like you didn't type it correctly.

Ah yeah, silly me ... It should say something like
No such file or directory in that case.
Command not found however indicates he was trying to run a non-existing command ...

Sorry, can't be. Can you please type again and show us here what you typed, word by word? You are mistyping something, or else the error message would be a different one.

There is a slash missing.
sudo mv /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default.sample
Something else ... can you please give me the output of these commands:
Thank you.
