I'm back to Ubuntu after a gap of 12 years (I quit after realising I was spending more time on my xorg file than my dissertation!). I've installed the latest Ubuntu LTS on an old MacBook Air (circa 2010). Everything was working fine.
Then I screwed it up by installing the proprietary NVIDIA drivers.
Now, when I boot the computer, all I get is a very small white line that never changes. I have tried calling the Grub screen during the boot process, but that doesn't work (I've tried 'Esc', spacebar, 'Command', 'Control', 'Del', 'Return', 'Shift' and many combinations thereof, but no luck. I tried booting off the USB stick that I used to install Ubuntu, but that didn't work either.
Any help would be much appreciated.
