[QUOTE="Blacktop, post: 510184, member: 22693"] I know that there are a few around here that understand the Linux/Unix command line. I need some help plz. (maybe [USER=16090]@aroy[/USER] or [MENTION=13090]Horoscope Fish[/MENTION] ? Yesterday I mistakenly installed the wrong Nvidia driver on my Mint-17 partition, so when booting into Linux, I get a very flickering logon screen where I can't even move the mouse. I can get into recovery mode from GRUB, but I'm afraid I have forgotten the command to boot with the generic Nvidia driver. I used to know a little of it a long time ago, but I have forgotten most of it. I can get a root (#) command line, or drop to shell (which I don't think I need to do) I'm trying to stay away from booting with a live CD and editing the Xorg file. Just want to boot with the generic driver, and then install the correct Nvidia driver. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
