Re: ahh, stuck in console mode
I installed that theme recently and it didn't break anything in the process.
Try loging in and starting X in the terminal:
Still, you can try removing the package:
Also you can try removing the ppa and updating:
Nevertheless I don't think the problem is in Orta theme nor the PPA
Try loging in and starting X in the terminal:
Code: Select all
$ startx
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get remove orta theme && apt-get autoremove
Code: Select all
sudo ppa-purge ppa:nikount/orta-desktop && apt-get update
