Think I have totally messed my system up, and it's a case of lesson learned for not reading things correctly maybe.
For some reason my GUI stopped loading after logging into ubuntu 12.04, think I have misinterpreted this post
Command startx run my default gnome classic and gnome statup scripts also runs.
As I ran this using sudo startx but was presented with a blank screen, so I restarted and tried to login as my user but it just loops back to the login page every time now
I don't know what to do to get access back into my laptop
If anyone could help I would be so grateful
Edit
Followed this post and now I can login, lesson learned, but still no GUI
