Total newbie has its first problems
 

Hi guys,
I am sorry to be writing here about an issue like this but I don't know what to do with it, I have read some topics about similar problems that user had but I couldn't resolve anything because I am total newbie I don't even know how to write commands or what to push without logging into the computer and I installed Linux just today. My problem is that I think I accidentally set nvidia graphic instead of the default one and also my processor. It says now when I want to log it that MDM could not write to my authorization file because of lack of the disk space, (I am using ssd sata disk but I don't know if it's working correctly) and if I push okay it gives me error with not stopping messages saying that ebridge is already registered and then that nvidia driver is already in use or something. Then it gets me back to the log screen and I cannot continue to use anything. Please I beg you what did I do wrong and what to do to fix it. Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi. Many question I have.

1. Do you or do you not have an Nvidia video card?
2. Laptop, desktop? brand/model?
3. what brand processor do you have? 32 or 64 bit?
4. version of mint? 32 or 64 bit?
5. have you check your bios? is it in legacy mode, uefi mode? secure boot on?
6. original ssd with computer or did you purchase separately?
7. where did you set nvidia setting? during installation?
8. did you try to partition the drive yourself or did you select all in one partition?

this will not do, this is not how computers work, and if you need help you will have to wipe the fog from your head and give us some definite information.
please.


...i know it's like pulling teeth in the beginning, but it gets better, and evtl. you will learn to integrate even scary things like THE TERMINAL into your comfort zone.

It would be very useful to know what distribution (name) and version of Linux you have installed and whether you just took the defaults during the install.

output of might help?

:p
