I've installed AMD graphic drivers and rebooted my system. Now when i'm logging in my screen turns off or shows a lot of noise in different colors, but i cant see anything. That means i cant use my Xubuntu insalled on HDD. I've live USB Stick, how to revert installation using Live USB? Or maybe nay other possibilities?

Boot your computer.
After it is started, swicth to TTY1 by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1
Log in using your normal username and password.
run this command to remove the drivers
sudo apt-get purge "fglrx.*" "fglrx-amdcccle.*"
run
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
to delete the x.org configuration file.run
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64
to re-install x.org.run
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
to reconfigure x.org.run
sudo reboot
to reboot.
You can do this from your Xubuntu computer, but you will need to type all these commands in. A lot of this I copy pasted from here: How do I remove the proprietary ATI drivers?
I don't use AMD drivers personally.

If you're root then
apt-get
shouldn't give you that error unless there's something that is already using apt or dpkg. Oct 20, 2014 at 17:34 -
