Hi all..ive gone and nafffed up a perfectly good install of mint 20.04..I've accidentally deleted cinnamon and can only get the log in screen.if I put my password in it says ..unable to launch "cinnamon-session-cinnamon" X session---"cinnamon-session-cinnamon" not found; falling back to default session. I can CTL alt f1 and get to the terminal but I've no idea what to do after that.ive got a usb drive that I believe has mint on it but as I can't boot from it I've no idea if it's any good.ive got limited use of cable connection so anything that can be done will have to be via WiFi on windows laptop and on a usb or from the terminal and usb stick with the suspect mint installation..I've tried booting into bios but nothing seems to be happening .it just stays black screen.im not computer savvy with all this terminal stuff so any advise with regard to command lines etc will have to be very precise and like it's being done by a 5yr old.if anyone can spoon feed me and walk me through getting it booting up ide be very grateful.i wiped out the cinnamon while I was trying to rid the on screen keyboard..
cheers..jim
