I've installed gnome-session-fallback on my ubuntu GNOME 14.04 beta, after that i logged out and logged in selecting Gnome Classic (Compiz) but some how it is screw up... and the only thing i see is the wallpaper and nothing more. To quit i have to force shutdown by pressing button of my laptop.

Now, i want to select the default desktop environment of ubuntu gnome, but i can't access to login screen because i have autologin option active... What should i do?

I have tried recovery mode and:

sudo apt-get --purge gnome-session-fallback

but it gives me an error..

Thanks to jmunsch help it's solved.

After booting press Ctrl+Alt+F1 this should get you to tty

then edit the custom.conf file

sudo nano /etc/gdm/custom.conf

disable AutomaticLoginEnable

Goto

System Settings>User Accounts

Look at the right side press unlock and enter your password and then turn off automatic login
