well, some progress here, I was able to login through the recovery panel, change to root and edit /etc/stab Alas though neither the single line nor the 3 lines have had any affect on my sessions. I still have no Terminal and running Update Manager is still encountering the same error. Thanks to all for wonderful ideas, suggestions.
