That's great but in your place I would have saved a snapshot of the system for analysis. I tend to do this when I cannot resolve a problem and in the interest of time I need to move on. In all the dialog I have not yet seen your answer as to what exactly you did to get in this hole (except for the mention of sudo nautilus in your OP). > @Raj Sir, I have not committed any crime :P.. I have a red hat background On your system, OK not a crime. On a client's system it would be negligence at best (depends in the client's mood). I I (as a client) would mighty upset if the system had custom configurations and you were unable to restore them back.

In *ubuntu, when you have to make a lot of changes the "sudo <xyz>" can be annoying [1] but you can do 'sudo su - ' which will give you the root access - do your stuff and remember to exit out of the root shell when you are done.
