Activating nVidia Drivers Makes The Desktop Disappear
 
Hey everybody,

I have been trying to install Linux on a olsish computer for a long time now, with no luck :[ Everything goes fine until Ubuntu/mint asks me to activate the nvidia drivers. When I do it and restart and login the there is no desktop.

The computer has a single core amd athlon 64, 1.5gb's of ram and a nvidia 7300gs card.

Hope someone can help,
Jack.

Hi and welcome to LQ.

Thanks. No nothing, I just activate them, restart login and it's gone.

Well the first time I installed Ubuntu I could see the desktop but I couldn't click on anything, just move the mouse.
