I have installed nimdow window manager. I have auto-login enabled. Nimdow is the default option. The only options I have at boot are (from the bootloader): default, timeout, edit, resolution, print and help (help is not working). How am I supposed to go back to GNOME or disable auto-login? I tried accessing the recovery shell, but I can’t access it by spamming escape. Someone PLEASE help. Google Bard is useless.
You are probably gonna want to chroot into your laptop using a livecd for linux. This will allow you to basically access your terminal without being able to login or boot, and then you can uninstall Nimdow, or turn off auto-login.
Some guides to chrooting.
Can’t they just do this by switching to a TTY? (Ctrl + alt + F1, F2…) Might be less work than chrooting.
Yeah. I just thought that the OP was unable to boot or something like that.
FYI, the options at boot have nothing to do with this. At boot you might have different options for different OS’s. When you pick linux, it will start up. Only after login will a DE/WM like Gnome/Nimdow start. If you install multiple WM’s, they will not show up in your boot menu. Some login managers allow you to switch between them at login.
Ctrl+alt+f3 put in your user and password and remove the window manager or install some other one until you fix it.
If you’re data is backed up and you still have a live CD just nuke your install and start over.
Be sure not to do stupid things like “auto login”. Literally the worst thing you can do on any pc.
