Can't Log On in The System

[JCM_Pico]

Hello there,
I was experimenting WINE in my Ubuntu machine. After a while I've decided to remove it.
I uninstalled the application that I installed using WINE (Steam - Day of Defeat)
And then i ran the following command
sudo apt-get remove wine*
I checked (using tab) and only wine, wine1.2 and wine-gecko where there to remove.

After doing this I shutdown my computer. When I turned it on again everything was fine until I had to pass trough the login page...
I've inserted my credentials and then when I clicked in "Log In" it appears a dark screen and then again the Log In screen.....

I already tried many things but the problem still continues....
Is there anybody that could give me some Help?

Thank you for the attention

Can you boot into a LiveCD, mount your Ubuntu partition and look at the /var/log/apt/term.log file to see what really happened when you uninstalled the packages?

Well, I can boot in a LiveCD but how can I mount my partition?

[arrange]

Go to Places on the upper panel and click on the partition.

Is it recoverable?
Is there some way to install the missing packages from the LiveCD?

Yes, no problem.
Boot into Recovery Mode, choose the root or netroot option, and type

apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

If no errors, type reboot and try normal boot now.

Is just to press ESC while loading the system right... Cause I'm not being able to get to the recovery mode option

[arrange]

If you don't see the Grub menu while booting, I think you must press Shift. Then choose the recovery mode option.

Thank you very much
The problem has been solved, I can log on successfully
