I accidently ran chown myname /usr -R and now the login screen won't show up! I have tried various things in the root terminal, but nothing works. What can I do?

sudo chown root /usr
Return back to your GUI tty ctrl+alt+f7

Nothing happened, I think it should be -R, I tried with it, no luck. – gskartwii Mar 07 '14 at 07:28

Then you probably did something else. what is output of `ls -l /usr` – Maythux Mar 07 '14 at 07:29
