I accidentally clicked the "guest" user profile and my system restarted itself, and now I can't get past a black screen with only the mouse pointer visible. Can somebody help me please?

  • Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 and you will be taken to a command line terminal.
  • Enter your user name and password to log in to your installed system.
  • Type: sudo systemctl stop lightdm
  • Type: sudo systemctl start lightdm
  • You should now be taken to the Display Manager's login screen where you can select your session type and user account.
  • In case you get lost, press Ctrl+Alt+F7 to be taken back to the graphical system
  • If this does not work, if you manage to go past steps 1 and 2, run reboot to reboot your system.
