Ok, I've been messing with this for hours now. I've read lots of forums and getting nowhere. Here's what happens. As soon as I install the nVidia drivers and reboot, The PC boots to a blinking cursor in the upper left corner and nothing else. I read all over to sudo apt-get purge nvidia* or other things to uninstall the drivers, but I can't get to a terminal to do any of this.
When it's sitting at this blinking cursor, I've tried holding down ctrl+alt+ and hitting any and all of the F keys. Nothing. I've tried holding down the shift key on boot and same... nothing. I've tried to boot the live cd but all I can see on the live cd is the CD contents, not the hd, so i'm just configuring the cd's OS.
First, how do I go about fixing an install after a corrupt nvidia install, for starters. (I'm sure my next attempt will fail and I'd rather not reinstall again.)
Second, how do I go about installing nvidia drivers for a GeForce 750ti desktop graphics card?
Here are my last steps I tried which failed with the same result...
Sudo apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
Sudo apt-get update
Sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
Sudo apt-get install nvidia-352
Sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
-type sudo apt get-install xserver-xorg-video-intel
I read somewhere that maybe the onboard graphics are conflicting so it suggests to update those. Maybe I should purge them? I don't know.
