I have been using Ubuntu 14.04 with no problems for about 8 months now. I am looking to upgrade my processor, however, due to a few reasons. I wanted to test my graphics one last time before I bought my new processor, so I switched the driver under settings. When I rebooted, nothing works. I load my home screen, but I cannot use my mouse, cannot use any keys, nothing. Just an unresponsive computer. Does anyone have suggestions? I don't know what information is required but I'll provide what is needed once I know. The Graphics card is a MSI Radeon R260x

  • Have you tried booting in recovery mode (hold down Shift when you boot, select Advanced menu, Recovery mode and continue on to boot (effectively adding nomodeset to your boot options)? You might be able to boot normally and remove the driver causing the issue. – bcbc Mar 03 '15 at 05:25
  • I got the recovery mode to boot last night, but when I went to change the driver it had already reset to the correct one. I would then shut down again and boot normally, but it would go back to my incorrect settings... Hmm.. – rsk997 Mar 03 '15 at 13:48
  • Have a look at How do I remove the proprietary ATI drivers?, but be aware that it was for an older release so in particular the instruction to reinstall xorg may not be correct on 14.04 – bcbc Mar 03 '15 at 16:42
