Asked by Keith Istre

My LTS boots up in it's usual terminal mode. After a lengthy boot it ask me for my login twice. However it doesn't display desktop. How do I fix this?

As stated in the linked page:

The following command will remove the proprietary Nvidia driver:
$ sudo dpkg -P $(dpkg -l | grep nvidia-driver | awk '{print $2}')
$ sudo apt autoremove
Switch back to nouveau driver:
$ sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

reboot
