    Issues with Ubuntu restart

    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.

    Re: Issues with Ubuntu restart

    I Solved the issue.
    Steps:

    1. Remove any drivers that may be causing the issue,
    2. 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.
    3. reboot.
      The pc should have recovered from the error by now. If not then,
    4. 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
    5. reboot.
