Recently I installed the Nvidia-CUDA package. It asked me for a restart. After restart, my pc starts but doesn't load the desktop (after logging in)
Note: I have ubuntu x86-64 installed in vmware player.

I Solved the issue.
Steps:
- Remove any drivers that may be causing the issue,
- open the terminal and type ( open it from the dash, using the ubuntu icon on the left corner); In case you get a blank screen, press ctrl+alt+f1 and login.
sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia
or
sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-current
(Depending on which one you have installed) or deactivate them from the restricted driver settings.- reboot.
The pc should have recovered from the error by now. If not then,- then on a terminal type this:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings- reboot.
