Tried to install Nvidia drivers now blank screen.

[Newy11]

Hi guys,

I know this is covered a lot. But im in a bit of a different situation to most.

Im running a fresh install of ubuntu 13.10 and I tried installing the Nvidia drivers from the nvidia website (before i knew there was a easier way to do it :P) It got to the point where it said it was disableing the nouveau drivers. It said to restart then try to install the Nvidia drivers again but everytime i restart it must be booting into a screen resolution that my monitor can not support.

I have tried hitting Shift before grub loads. nothing seems to happen. Or if it does i cannot see it.

I have tried hitting Ctrl - Alt - F1 and this does indeed work as i can log in and reboot BUT i can still not see what im typing. the whole screen is just blank.

I have a live CD that boots fine and just wondering if i can un-do what the nvidia drivers disabled from the live CD?

Thanks heaps..

If you've managed to login and reboot without seeing the output, you can probably also cd to the directory with the Nvidia installation file, and run, ...for example, 'NVIDIA-Linux-x86-310.19.run --uninstall'. The file name may differ, but you should just type NV and then press Tab to auto-complete.

Ended up just reinstalling everything as no matter what I tried nothing seemed to help :(
