Windows are covered in black after trying to update graphics drivers
I am using Ubuntu 16. I attempted to install my graphics drivers from a PPA
I remember I was trying the suggestions here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/50156...untu-14-04-lts http://askubuntu.com/questions/69127...n-ubuntu-15-10 My computer was running fine until I put it in suspend mode. After I turned it back on, now whenever I click on things, I get this black box surrounding it, such as here: http://imgur.com/LlT9Fah I can't even type things in the terminal because I'll get that black box. If I restart or shut down and turn it back on, I get the same problem Looking at my `bash_history` file, I see that the possible commands I ran that could've caused this problem were: Code:
Code:
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge Code:
W: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/doctormo/wacom-plus/ubuntu xenial Release' does not have a Release file. And when I type "gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list", I get Code:
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...z/+bug/1292830 Can anyone help? |
If you can figure a way around it, e.g. uninstalling & reinstalling from cd, you could write a script and call it from RC.local or similar. Likewise, changing "initdefault" from 5 to ,3, or whatever the appropriate Ubuntu numbers are should get you console mode, which uses keyboard commands with no GUI.

You may not get thing back but I would just uninstall the packages, remove the PPA, reboot, apt update, apt upgrade, reinstall the packages then rebbot and hop for the best.
