some one asked me:
im using ubuntu.
ive been trying to solve this for over 6 hours.
how i reached this:
i wanted to use arabic for writing some text on a project im working on so i installed the arabic language packages everything was normal and i can read arabic text but i couldnt use arabic as input language . so i modified the keyboard layout to "arabic qwerty" worked partially because i didnt reboot.
so i rebooted!
booting was normal till i reached the login window, when i enter a username it only writes arabic, i cant switch to arabic. i didnt panic, because theres "change language" on the lower left part of the login screen i selected english and i was shocked that it did nothing
what ive tried and failed at
1. using the recovery mode , but it only accepts arabic even in the root shell
2. using failsafe terminal, didnt work because i only write arabic
3. used a livecd to add new user with only digits i created a user using "adduser 22" and the password was digits as well, but i failed because when i tried to logining in it accepted username and password but nothing happens because theres no user home directory -.-
4. used livecd and created a home directory for a new user, when i logged in it said that the home directory permissions arnt set correctly
5. ive also tried making the two users i added before administrators by editing the "etc/group" and "etc/passwd" but i couldnt login in with them because administrators arnt allowed to login from that screen
6. when i really got frustrated i used live cd, mounted the file system and used "sudo chroot /media/disk" and kept removing all arabic related packages, but there was noo change at ALL
can you help me please, i cant install another ubuntu/linux.
juicy +rep for the one with the solution
