Ok, don't judge this as a duplicate question, please read through the whole thing.
I have read the other thread and the solution is usually to press Ctrl+Alt+F1
and then start working on the problem. Read my problem and you will see that solution does not fit me.
This is my problem: Somewhere during installation of Nvidia Drivers (or afterwards), I restarted the PC and now I can not login to the system anymore.
Everything boots up as normal until I am prompted with the Ubuntu login page
. I enter my password, the screen gets black and soon after that the login screen comes back.
Now to the much bigger problem, I can not even use Ctrl+Alt+F1 (to F6)
to get a tty console. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1
just takes me to a black screen and nothing happens, the only combination which works in Ctrl+Alt+F7
which takes me back to the login screen.
I can use the guest user to enter the system but I have no access privileges to do anything useful there and I still get the same issue if I press Ctrl+Alt+F1
.
What can I do at this point? (I spent hours setting up that system)
