I followed a guide to install drivers for my graphic card, However when I restart, Ubuntu merely shows a blank screen. I can get a terminal through CTRL+ALT+F1, but that's about it. Where exactly am I going wrong, and what exactly can I do to fix my current situation?
I use a laptop with an external monitor and a Ubuntu 12.04 64bit.
Go to the terminal with Ctrl Alt F1 like you said.
The command dpkg -l '*nv*' wil list all the the installed packages containing "nv".
With me the offending package was "nvidia-current".
Type sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current. Type your password if asked for.
Reboot your machine and viola. Well it worked for me. Hopefully you will be successful too.
