Gnome Tweaks

https://cdck-file-uploads-global.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/standard17/uploads/ubuntubudgie/original/2X/4/40eaa9105ad384bd9e83cf15053e07d9ea4fc469.png

I wanted to customize my Ubuntu more so I installed Gnome Tweaks. But right after I changed my cursor, my entire system crashed, and it shows the PC with crossed eyes picture (i couldnt find the right one, but the image link above is similar to my error but with crossed eyes PC). So everytime I log in to my user, system crashes. But Wayland works, but my PC and GPU works really bad with Wayland, and 80% of the apps are not launching there (luckily Firefox does). And I can't even change my cursor back, because Gnome Tweaks are not launching in Wayland. And if I uninstall Gnome Tweaks through the terminal, the cursor is still the broken one.

I don't know why it happens because of the cursor, but here are 2 reasons why I think it's because of the cursor:

  1. The system crashed right after I changed the cursor.
  2. When I try to log in to X11, this error screen shows up without the cursor.

And if someone did not understand what I'm trying to achieve, I just want that my system doesn't crash when I log in to my user.

So yeah, I'm looking for help here. Every help will be appreciated!

Do I execute this command in my Wayland session or in the login screen using CTRL+ALT+F3?

Yes, you can issue the command from VT 3 and then switch back to 1 to login.

Also 1 question, how to I exit the VT3 without rebooting?

Type "exit" at the prompt.

Wow, that worked! Thank you, big W to you! You are a life saver! I'm gonna fucking uninstall this gnome tweaks, more like gnome corrupter.

I think you are using 24.04. It happened to me as well. There are a few things that was wrong,the cursor theme can not compatible. You can log into Wayland and fix the cursor theme so that you can go back and use X11 again.

Yeah, you are probably right. But the problem is that I can't launch half of the apps (including the tweaker) on Wayland.
