12.04 - Login screen bumps back to login screen

Ubuntu froze, so I had to perform a hard-reboot. But then when I tried to login, all I see is a brief Nvidia splash screen and then it reloads the login screen. I'm completely locked out of Gnome Shell, my normal GUI. I can still login via a text terminal.


I've seen some similar questions like this and this and this but none of the solutions worked for me. My drive isn't encrypted. My home directory has the right permissions. I tried purging all nvidia packages and reinstalling. Nothing's worked. How do I fix this?
