I'm a new ubuntu user. I'm using a 22.04 LTS version. It was running pretty fine until I decided to install an nvidia graphics driver. I have an nvidia geforce GT 610 graphics card. I installed the nvidia-390 driver from the software and updates application then I rebooted. And now it just doesn't work The boot ubuntu logo looks fat as if I'm running on safe graphics mode ubuntu logo at boot being fat

And when it's supposed to start the login screen it's just stuck in a black screen with an underscore.

I tried loads of solutions like running "sudo dpkg --configure -a", Try going back to nouveau driver, reinstalling ubuntu-desktop etc. But nothing gets it recovered

    This depends heavily on your kernel version. I do not know if the current 22.04 kernel supports the 390 driver version. See my posting here: How can the NVidia driver 390 be used with kernel 6.2 (23.04 Lunar Lobster). TL;DR: NVidia 390 driver is discontinued. – zx485 Mar 28 '24 at 10:02
  • Boot, Hit ESC once as the "BIOS" text appears, you should get a "grub menu" where "advanced" leads to "recovery" options. run the fsck and network options then drop to a root shell and do dpkg -l | grep -E ^ii.*nvidia and uninstall the displayed packages with apt purge <packagename>, then do reboot – Hannu Mar 29 '24 at 07:30
