    As an added aside, I highly recommend adding some info about doing this from a virtual terminal.

    service lightdm needs to be disabled first on my machine. This is done by hitting shift-cntrl+f1 and

    after logging in

    sudo service lightdm stop

    then proceeding with the above.

    When finished,

    sudo service lightdm start

    Then hit shift +cntrl+f7 or alt > a few times to return to the GUI
