Ever since I began using Ubuntu on and off (about 8 years ago) I have always had graphics driver problems. Always. No matter what type of GPU(s) I had, always ended up coming here because it couldn't figure it out.
And here I am, again.
Long story short, I think I've seriously messed up xorg/nouveau/nvidia drivers/Ubuntu desktop/and unity. Or a combination of the above. Currently, my splash screen is black and white (I dual boot) and when I boot to Ubuntu, I keep getting this message, " fsck from util-linux 2.26.2" and something about my partition, clean, number of files, and number of blocks.
I am really close to just "screw it, all the work I've put into the os can go down the drain, reinstall."
Could anyone help me fix this? As for what I have done, it involved reinstalling ubuntu-desktop, reinstalling nvidia drivers, uninstalling nvidia drivers, installing nouveau, reinstalling xorg xserver, installing xubuntu desktop environment, uninstalling xubuntu IDE, wiping all config files, and a bunch more through TTY.
I use a laptop, Asus n61j
It has:
8gb ram
Intel i5 450m
Intel GPU
Nvidia geforce 325m
And a 260gb ssd with windows installed alongside Ubuntu
How should I go about pretty much reinstalling Ubuntu, minus losing all of my installed programs, work, and files?
Sorry I don't have much on what I did do... Just assume I did the worst possible.
Thanks for your time and help!
