After opening .config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart it approximately looked like this

@lxpanel --profile LXDE-pi @pcmanfm --desktop --profile LXDE-pi 
@xscreensaver -no-splash @point-rpi @lxterminal -e python3 /home/pi/Workspace/MTCNN_Tensorflow/Bildaufnahme_tensorflow

I made some line breaks so it looks like this:

@lxpanel --profile LXDE-pi 
@pcmanfm --desktop --profile LXDE-pi 
@xscreensaver -no-splash 
@point-rpi 
@lxterminal -e python3 /home/pi/Workspace/MTCNN_Tensorflow/Bildaufnahme_tensorflow

But after reboot my desktop is gone and I only got a black screen with a mouse cursor. How can I reset the .config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart file so I get my old desktop back?

If you had SSH, you could go back and rewrite it back to the original.

If you can access your files, back them up on a USB, and reinstall your version of Raspbian.

I would like it for you to provide picture so I can give more to this answer.

  • Luckily I could still access to my files and I've backed them up. I will reinstall my Raspbian. Thank you. Commented Jul 12, 2018 at 8:07

I haven't used LXDE so far but from a graphical user interface usually you can get to a text console by pressing {ctrl}{alt}F1 (..F2-F6). When you can switch to it then login and repair the settings. You can go back to the GUI with {alt}F7 but in your case there is only a black screen with blinking cursor so you should reboot.

  • @RamónWilhelm Only to have it in mind for me: does it also work on LXDE?
