I have installed newest Nvidia drivers (from their site with the .run
file) on my laptop with Nvidia Geroce 420M.
After some time I decided to try out open source drivers there I went to System Settings -> Software Sources -> Additional drivers
and clicked Open source drivers and applied the changes.
After a reboot I have had no Unity panel shown when I logged into the system. So I googled a little and then removed all nvidia-*
packages (except nvidia-common
) and installed nvidia-current-updates
, rebooted and ... boom system won't load.
So I booted now from the livecd and got some logs from it
dmesg.log

boot.log

syslog
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1571474/
Xorg.failsafe.log
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1571479/
In boot.log
there is a line:
initctl: Event failed
And in Xorg.failsafe.log
:
(EE) Failed to load module "nv" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "modesetting" (module does not exist, 0)
...
(EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory
(EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section.
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module. Please see the
(EE) NVIDIA(0): system's kernel log for additional error messages and
(EE) NVIDIA(0): consult the NVIDIA README for details.
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failing initialization of X screen 0
When I try to boot from recovery mode to any repair filesystem, turn on networking
etc. mode then I get something like :
Continuing will remount your / fillesystem in read/write mode and mount any
other filesystem defined in /ect/fstab. Do you wish to continue ?
fsck from util-linux 2.20.1 /dev/sda: clean 318818/10117120 files, 24047888/40467456 blocks .
What else can I provide to better illustrate the issue ?
EDIT
All I can do is go to the root prompt in recovery mode but can't remount my filesystem in read/write mode (also I can't install packages because there is a dpkg/lock
).
If I choose any other option than root shell then i got stuck as described here : safemode how long should it take clean and free up space
