i went to upgrade my installation from dapper to edgy, just by changing the lines in my sources.list

when i restarted, natilus would not start... it kept giving me an unexpected error.

i went into the terminal and tried to apt-get install and apt-get update nautilus to try to fix any broken packages, but now when i log in all i get is a blank screen, and i see my cursor...

Use the terminal to back up all of your important data to somewhere else (external HD, networked computer, etc.) then reinstall.

If you must have a GUI to do this, go download Knoppix.
