Ubuntu boots to black screen after messing with Nvidia
So... I screwed up. I was trying to get a second monitor to work on ubuntu
but it wasn't auto detecting it. So I went online and found out that it
could be a video drive issue. So I went to drivers and selected one of the
Nvidia drivers that ubuntu suggested. At this point, I restarted the
computer. When it booted, I was stuck in 480x640. I googled this issue and
found that someone suggested I use some kind of command (something "purge"
something "Nvidia" sorry I don't remember the actual command). After doing
that, I rebooted and now Ubuntu boots to a black screen with no cursor, or
anything. When I hold down my power button to shutdown, the ubuntu logo
shows up with the four loading dots underneath but it shutsdown before it
goes further.
If I had to guess, i would guess I don't have a video driver assigned
anymore, or the one I'm using is screwed up, but I haven't used Ubuntu
long, so I'm not an expert.
If someone could help, I would really really appreciate it.
