My problem is that more often than not, when I boot into Ubuntu 12.04 it brings me to the Command-line prompt and asks for my login. After logging in I have to either try using
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.confg
Or
Reinstall the Nvidia 310 drivers in order to get my GUI back.
The error that the terminal puts out is 0 Screens found
. I am quite confused as to why that is. Is it because I have a DVI input? But after using the sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.confg
command or reinstalling the Nvidia 310 drivers, it's works fine until next boot.
It's a bit inconvenient so if someone knows a fix to this, it'd be so so appreciated.
I apologize if there already is a question like this posted, but I did check and I couldn't see anything from what I saw.
I originally installed the Nvidia drivers using the jockey. (Additional Drivers) However now when I have to reinstall the drivers I just use the .run file from the website.

Yes, I would like to boot to my GUI instead of the console. Sorry for any misunderstanding.

command. This lists the kernel modules versions installed handled by DKMS. You can then copy/paste the output. While you're at it, also runlspci -nnk | grep -iEA3 vga
. This lists all relevant information about your graphics card(s) installed. We can then see what you need to get it working. Remember to edit your question for this information (including that in your previous comment!). That is how this site works. – gertvdijk Jan 29 '13 at 09:33.run
