I'm running a Dell Vostro 3750 running Ubuntu 13.04.

I've asked previously but hadn't isolated why my Ubuntu system crashed and had to be rebuilt twice. Now I know.

Installing nvidia-current causes unity to crash.

I immediately tried to remove the package:

sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current

After a reboot, I'm in the same situation. How do I at least get back to the slow, unoptimized but working graphics I had before without the nvidia driver?

Shutdown the computer Boot into Recovery Mode --After BIOS load, hold down Shift key to access the grub menu --Once in grub menu, select the entry ending in "(recovery mode)" From the next menu selected option to enter Root Session At the root session, execute command mount -o remount,rw / to remount the filesystem as read-write next

apt-get purge nvidia*

Then

rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

That should do it and get you back to open source driver.
