reed help reverting a package installation

[Dawa]

hi-

i installed nvidia-glx, which removed nividia-glx-new. now ubuntu 7.10 boots to a blank screen. if i boot through recovery mode, i'm just left at the terminal prompt with no clue as to what to do. i need to get rid of nividia-glx and reinstall nvidia-glx-new. someone please help.

thanks

At that terminal run this

sudo apt-get purge nividia-glx

And then run this

sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new

now restart and that should be all it takes

sudo apt-get purge nvidia-glx
sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
