Ubuntu Desktop disappeared
Hi all,
Tried updating my Nvidia drivers in order to push the output to my TV via HDMI. Upon completion my computer pushed the output to the TV but wouldn't login. I tried removing the .Xauthority but this didn't work so I rolled back the drivers by carrying out the purge command then installing nvidia-current. I could now login, however when I did, the entire desktop had disappeared. No idea why. As far as I know, this is a Unity issue, but could be completely wrong. I've tried re-installing Ubuntu-desktop and unity, carrying out an update and upgrade. Obviously rebooting the machine too. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas are most welcomed. |
If you have any Live Media, DVD/CD/USB, try booting to it and taking a look at the log files, in particular /var/log/Xorg.0.org, /var/log/faillog, and /var/log/syslog.
Also, which version of Ubuntu is this? |
The very latest. Wily Werewolf 15.10.
I'll have a look in the logs, and I can access the OS fine via CLI. I can even log in fine via the GUI. For me, ita the equivalent of when explorer.exe dies on Windows. Normally you just type explorer.exe into run and it sorts it. This seems very similar. |
OK, so I've had a look in the logs and the one that is most interesting is Xorg.0.log.
I'm not particularly sure what the problem is, so I'll post my logs here and hope that someone can help me fix it. Code:
24.938] (==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d" Code:
[ 25.466] (II) LoadModule: "nvidia" |
Reinstalled Ubuntu. Couldn't figure it out. Admin please close.
|
So it's working now?
