If " Ctrl + Alt + Del" doesn't work for you, press " Ctrl + Alt + F2 " and/or " Ctrl + Alt + Backspace" and then " Ctrl + Alt + Del". Or for the AMD/ATI package: sudo apt-get remove fglrx Now type the following (using the Nvidia drivers as an example): Once in Advance Settings (select advanced options for Ubuntu and then the 2nd option again), activate " Network" (using a network cable connection not WiFi) and then go to " root", wait until the messages vanish (you will most likely get a message about networking, just click on "Enter" and say yes if asked!). Once done, you may or may not get a message about restarting, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO RESTART AND NOT CLICK ON RESUME, press Ctrl + Alt + Del and let it restart normally and your problem should be gone!.
Restart in " Recovery mode" again and run "network" + "dpkg", restart with Ctrl + Alt + Del again!.Īnother method to install or remove problem driver packages.
