Ubuntu won't login after installing nvidia drivers



yesterday i installed ubuntu 14.04 without any problems. I want to use my nvidia drivers instead of the integrated intel graphics so I tried to use the driver checker provided by ubuntu, the problem with this is that ubuntu gets internal errors.



The next problem is that when I install nvidia drivers by using the sudo apt-get install nvidia-current ubuntu won't login to the computer. Note that I can start the computer and I get to the login screen but after entering the password the only thing that happens is that I can see my background image just like the desktop is loading. By using CTRL+ ALT + F1 I removed the nvidia drivers and the ubuntu worked again.



How can I get the nvidia drivers to work? and what could I do about the internal error message?



Specs:





  • ASUS K53S

  • intel core i5 (2.6 GHz)

  • Nvidia GT 630M 2GB

  • 4GB Ram



the safest way is to use the additional drivers that are provided by Ubuntu




in the dash write " additional drivers"



in my laptop i used the proprietary, tested and this is working fine
