Whenever I boot up Ubuntu, it shows the purple screen, then cuts to black. Before this happened, I was editing the Xsession file, by adding a few more lines that started up dwm and added something to it's taskbar. I also added a custom.desktop file in the xsessions folder, that launched the .xsession file.

Is there any way to fix what happened? Or at least a way I can edit the xsessions file?

Is there any way to fix what happened?

If you mean the black/purple screen, you should read this: My computer boots to a black screen, what options do I have to fix it?

Or at least a way I can edit the xsessions file?

When your system finished booting, you press Ctrl + Alt + F2. This will bring up the tty or console. Use your credentials to log in. Then edit your file using nano .xsession. To save the changes, hit Ctrl + O then close it with Ctrl + X.

If you want to remove/deactivate the scripts, you can also move them:

mv ~/.xsession ~/xsession.bk
