I should have saved something for future analysis. Actually i ran the command sudo nautilus and then i went to /etc directory and changed ownership from root to rakesh and then changed the permission of the directory and it's sub directories also as " read and write"... Then when i faced the problem in running my apache server and database servers, i tried to undo all those thing by again typing sudo nautilus, but it was too late then. Then i rebooted my system and tried to go in rescue mode but rescue mode was also not working.(Perhaps because i had changed the ownership also). Then i posted my query here and after looking at the types of comment i got, i formatted my system after taking all the data backup. [...] > > On your system, OK not a crime.
