The question for this is difficult to determine. Simply, using ubuntu 16.04 LTS, been modified by someone else to 'harden' the OS, though I do not know what was done. 32-bit OS; single arm board. Computer won't get to GUI after restarting.

I was locking "hidden files" on the home folder that were part of the file system. I used "sudo chmod 700 file" and "sudo chown root:root file". After doing this to all the hidden files and directories, first, I noticed that my terminal's 'host@server' text characters had gotten large and white. But the main thing was that when I restarted the computer, I got a login screen. I never get a log in screen except when the OS was first being installed. I never login.

I'm using orangpiplus2e 16GB micro-sd. I put it in another computer and unlocked all the locked files and directories. When I put it back in the sbc computer, it did start processing this time, and said 'starting kernel', but then I got a blank screen and then after a few minutes, the login screen again. I have tried the login 25 times, but it doesn't work. I am using my hostname and my desktop password. Also, it says "incorrect login - 60 seconds timed out". But, it is less than 60 seconds and sometimes refreshes in 30 seconds.

Is there a file that needs modifying so that the computer goes back to the OS starting normally whereby I get my GUI screen instead of a login screen?

  AFAIK nothing in your home folder should be root:root - and certain things being so (in particular, the .Xauthority file) will prevent startup of your user's graphical X session (aka a "login loop")

  Before I restarted the computer, I changed permissions and ownershop for .Xauthority and a few other files and directories, though the terminal letters were still white and larger. When modifying permissions for folders to lock them, is it necessary to use "sudo chown user@server file" or just do 'sudo chmod 700 file"? Thx. I don't know what I can do the .Xauthority file if the permissions and ownership were all that I changed and then removed.
