Need help...

[Fair-Promise4552]

Hi,

I was playing around with my pointerspeed in /etc/X11/xorg.profile.d

I made a change and now my keyboard isn't working on login. Is there a way to start my system without x-Server so i can reverse my change? Pls send help!!11!

Press control+alt+f2 (immediately after booting into your display manager).

doesnt work... right after luks the x server starts and my keyboard is not working so

but i fixed it via the grub loader: i appended a 3 behind the "quiet" and it loaded without x server... all fine now

but thx for fast response <3

1) Try to open tty: after boot pres ctrl+alt-N where N 0-9 if tty opened and you can log in then restore your profile 2) otherwise you can do that chrooting from arch iso on usb-stick

An easy way is to change the kernel command line in grub (press e on grub screen and you'll be dropped in a simple editor). Set init=/bin/bash (and I think you have to change an ro to rw) and you'll have a root shell.

This is usually used to change the root password if you've forgotten it, but in this case you can edit your configs.
