I think you should look at (and post it here) /etc/inittab.

If you can't get into your system at all, there's no magic command we can give you that's going to let you do so. You'll have to boot a livecd of some sort.

If you can reboot and are using grub, type "e" at the prompt to edit the line. Then, go to the second of three lines and add the following:


linux single


and then boot that modified (for this attempt only) line

It should bring you into single user mode and allow you to show us what the /etc/inittab looks like.

maooah,

Is error is due to the non-availability of the display manager.

Check whether anyone of the following package is installed

gdm,kdm or xdm.

if not install it according to your Desktop environment for GNOME (gdm),KDE (kdm) or Other DE (xdm).
