I was trying to use the latest version of Blender and found out that the newest NVIDIA drivers need to be installed so I can use the GPU in my gaming laptop (originally loaded with Windows 10).
SO I went to this page and typed this into the terminal...
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
and then installed nvidia-modprobe
.
The result after rebooting was an extremely low resolution and no matter how many times I typed in my password the screen would always stay stuck in the login screen. Even with the guest account it won't word. So what would be one way to safely log in back into my account in order to remove these possibly-harmful drivers and save my important files? Would a clean install solve this?
I'm using version 15.10 of Ubuntu.

using ctrl+alt+F1?
