Ubuntu 13.10 - Black screen after logging in after installing nVidia drivers
- by Javacow
I recently installed Ubuntu 13.10 in a dual-boot with Windows 7, so I'm still quite new to using Linux.
Most things were working fine, and I could log in normally (apart from the first login after install, which spent about 2 minutes on a black screen before going to the desktop). I installed the restricted Nvidia drivers with the command:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
Since then, after I enter my password and log in (the login screen itself works perfectly), I get a black screen with the cursor and nothing happens from that point onwards.
Basically, what I would like to know is how to get back to the normal Ubuntu desktop and (hopefully) still be able to use Nvidia drivers.
