I cannot boot until this problem is fixed. I was considering booting
11.4 and scrapping 11.10 altogether, but I don't know what files have
changed since I last backed up.

Whatever help I could get to remove the pid/dbus thing via command line,
would be really appreciated, thanks. Please give details on how you guys
fixed the problem and what commands you used. I'm a linux/ubuntu noob
and it's finals week, so the urgency of fixing this bug and logging in
asap is extremely important.
