After I solved this problem, I was able to go to the login screen. My problem now is that I am stuck in a login-loop...
Details about what led to the login-loop problem:
- bought a Nvidia GTX 1060
- installed the gpu with driver nvidia-381 on Ubuntu 16.04
Note:
- I can access the TTY while I'm in the login screen
- The login-loop: I can login perfectly but after about 5-10 seconds or so, I get thrown back to the login screen
- Most of the time this problem is solved, when you uninstall the nvidia drivers but I can't uninstall the them because without it I get my first problem again and with that blackscreens or the low-resulution mode
- Secure boot is already disabled
- Till now I haven't blacklisted nouveau, but I will try that
I also looked at this post and some of the links there
