After installing Nvidia driver through MX tools it will only boot to a blinking cursor

[scottr954]

From there I logged in with cntrl+alt+f1 and removed /etc/X11/xorg.conf based on another (old) thread but still nothing.

Can this be fixed or am I hosed?

Thanks for any help!

I'm able to get back into a gui now (after deleting that filled) but the settings seem way off.

Is there any way of getting back to the original video driver now? I think it was called "nouveau"?

You can purge the nvidia driver and go back to nouveau by running

Code: Select all

sudo ddm-mx -p nvidia

in the console. Then you can post your Quick System Info, search the forum, read the manual and wiki articles about nvidia driver troubleshooting, and better prepare yourself to try and reinstall it again later.
