I am currently in a very difficult problem right now please please help me out. I wanted to add the "knotes" as the default startup app in my ubuntu 12.04 so I added it in startup application menu, while adding I saw other apps which I thought were not useful so I removed those apps (This seems to be a very big mistake)

And now I am unable to change the wallpaper(I tried every possible option), Ubuntu keeps asking me about 12.10 upgrade even if I say "Don't Upgrade" and the worst problem is my keyboard layout is automatically selected to "English(UK)" which I am unable to change Because whatever layout I select it gets automatically changed to "English(UK)".I can't even type a single sentence properly(coz all keys are changed). I am in very serious trouble right now as I can not reinstall whole ubuntu now

Please Please help me guys!

i am not sure, did u maybe boot in read mode only ?

  1. Shutdown the computer
  2. Boot into Recovery Mode --After BIOS load, hold down Shift key to access the grub menu --Once in grub menu, select the entry ending in "(recovery mode)"
  3. From the next menu selected option to enter Root Session
  4. At the root session, execute command mount -o remount,rw / to remount the filesystem as read-write

for keyboard layout try this :

sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
