I recently updated from Ubuntu 16.10 to 17.04, and the graphic card is not working properly. It is showing this message as shown in the screenshot: screenshot instead of the login screen.

I uninstalled the Nvidia graphics driver using tty1 but still the error persists.

I am unable to login to my Ubuntu desktop.

What should I do?

  • Reinstall the Nvidia drivers -or- use nomodeset to boot THEN install the recommended drivers version. –  Sep 17 '17 at 20:54

I had the same problem and solved it more or less as MichelBay suggested.

I followed the instructions given at Graphics issues after/while installing Ubuntu 16.04/16.10 with NVIDIA graphics.

  1. Reboot into GRUB.
  2. Highlight the Ubuntu option and press E.
  3. Add nouveau.modeset=0 to the end of the line beginning with linux.
  4. Press F10 to boot.

This allowed me to boot into the graphical environment (but not using the nvidia driver).

  1. sudo apt purge nvidia-*.
  2. Search for "Additional Drivers" in Dash.
  3. Install recommended Nvidia driver via Additional Drivers tab in Software & Updates.
  4. Reboot
