HELP! I screwed up GUI ! - Ontrackx - 2018-01-14

I was investigating into autostart of apps (installed some pacages from gui packages installer)

I now only boot into a weird desktop?

How can i execute this package/software gui from terminal? (try to uninstall latest package)

Or how to force an update from terminal to maybe save my system with that. (teamwiever is working) if anyone would have a look.

Or maybe this new GUI/desktop that i install can be minimized (how)

Please help the Vessel is going on voyage very soon and everything was up and running . But i HAAAAd to fiddle a little more

(I am a NOOB windows user that like GUI over terminal commands :Smile

try this, type "openplotter" into a terminal then when it opens go to the update tab and choose " set default openplotter desktop" sudo reboot
it gets a little trickier to open the package manager from command line because root is disabled by default.
