I want to use ubuntu 16.04 on my laptop so I use a bootable USB to install the system.
Now I want to install NVIDIA driver... another story, skip it. Anyway I need to use tty to install the driver as I need to shut down X server.
But when I use ctrl+alt+F1~6
to enter the tty, nothing happens. The situation is, first I login to my user, stay on the desktop. I press ctrl+alt+f1
, then my mouse disappear, and the GUI directly got frozen (I test it by playing a youtube video and press the keys).
It looks like I stucked at somethere because if I press ctrl+alt+f7
the GUI goes back to working. The same thing happens if I tried to enter tty at the login page without logging into my account.
Can anyone help? I can update any information about the system if you need. Thank you.
Edit:
I've read this thread Boot hangs after installing the latest driver from PPA and Ctrl+Alt+F1 keyboard shortcut doesn't work
Now I finished step 2 and stucked before enter step 3. After selecting the recovery mode, I only have 'loading linux 4.13.0-36 generic' and 'loading initial ramdisk' these two lines appear, no menu like it is supposed to be in step 3
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
or type your partition instead of sda1 4. If you created a custom partition layout when installing Ubuntu you have to find your root partition using thefdisk
utility. 5.sudo chroot /mnt
