cant log in at all

[Donny George]

hello

i am working on an ubuntu 8.04 with gnome desktop and as part of running a
software called COMSOL i had to install the XFree86. the command i used was
sh Xinstall.sh

and i had many tar.gz files installed once i put in the command mentioned
earlier, like Xman.tar.gz, Xdoc.tar.gz, Xlib.tar.gz etc

and once i restarted i dont even get the log in screen. but i do get the
text mode.

is there any way to return to the previous settings like we do in windows.

or is there at all any way to return to my previous desktop.

i tried some links and did the command

apt-get remove x-window-system-core

it returned an error

Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

can anyone someone tell me how to get to my desktop please

thnx for all the help

donny
