Elementary OS - Hera 5.1 - Can't login - "Session returned error code 1" - Accidently removed zeitgeist*

3.8k Views Asked by At

I've accidently uninstalled zeitgeist by running sudo apt-get purge zeitgeist*

I can't login anymore. I've the following error message : "Session returned error code 1"

Error message from io.elementary.greeter

Observations :

  • It tests the password (if I don't tip the right one, it tells me wrong password)

  • I can login use the command line tty (by pressing Ctrl Alt F1).

  • When I try to run io.elementary.greeter, I've the error message "Unable to init server: Impossible to connect: Connection refused" (and it tells me it can't use GTK on this display but nevermind)

  • When I try the same command line with sudo, I've more errors : "dconf-warning **: 18:28:41.795: failed to commit changes to dconf: Impossible de lancer automatiquement D-bus sans $DISPLAY X11" (this last sentence meaning "Impossible to automaticly run D-bus without $DISPLAY X11")

If any of you know any solution instead of uninstalling the whole OS and reinstalling, I'll be realy thanksful.

[ RESOLVED ]

Following this link that leads to this other link, I've repaired it.

2 steps :

1 - I've removed the .Xauthority file in my home directory and then I've run sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade

2 - I've run sudo apt-get install pantheon-xsession-settings and reboot (command reboot)

Now seems to work fine :-)

I hope it will help, GL HF ! ;-)
