I was trying to run a terminal command on startup in my ubuntu 14.04.02
xrdb ~/.Xresources
I found this method in super user in which /etc/init.d/rc.local file is edited. As mentioned in that post I added my code to top of rc.local file using root privilages and saved it.
like this
# Resource file load
xrdb ~/.Xresources
#End
but after restarting I am unable to "properly" login to the system. After login into the system I can only see a home folder and a trash folder in my desktop. No panel, launcer bar noting when i tried to open home folder I am able to reach home folder but after that navigation is not possible (including search) system hangs. Any idea how to solve this problem
