Didn't set Gnome-session in CLI using nano to start with startx...

(continued)
My screen now looks like this upon boot. http://uppix.net/d/2/7/176e2b840bbf0d35 … accd64.png
Is there a way for me to use nano still?

(note) I noticed before I went and rebooted and ended up like this, if I started x it would display a DE, but with aqua-esque color on what appears to be a title bar with CLI with me in root since I was in root at the time and a mouse cursor that I was able to move around.

If there is need for me to try to elaborate on anything, I will do so to the best of my ability.

Reboot into single user mode, make any necessary changes, reboot.

Enter Single User Mode as said above by entering Single at the end of the image in grub using edit then do as you may need for respective Desktop Environment.

Ex: kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid9200a938......ro Single
