When I enter my password in the login box nothing happens. It gets stuck. It was running fine earlier. I have installed gnome-panel
and cairo-dock
, after which, I logged out, logged back in, and choose gnome classic
session. I also added a ppa from the webupd8.org to install the themes (link).
I opened Ubuntu Tweak tool, and changed the theme to Evolve
the whole laptop stopped responding. The keyboard and mouse were unresponsive. So I was forced to do a shut down. Now whenever it starts, I cannot login into Ubuntu. I hear the fan noise, as its spinning very fast, when the laptop freezes.(Probably the CPU is running at 100%).
Please help me. How can I login back to Ubuntu? I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and have installed all the latest updates..
EDIT: I want to know how can I delete a folder from the file system
using the live CD?

Thanks Mitch for your idea! I was able to fix my problem. I booted to my system using the live CD of Ubuntu. I mounted the file system in nautilus. Now to gain root access to the file system (of installed ubuntu), I typed this code in the terminal
I navigated to
/usr/share/theme
. Deleted the Evolve theme folder. Restarted the computer and now everything is normal.
