반응형

** 우분투 무한 로그인 에러 해결 **


Background : ubuntu16.04LTS + gtx1070


After installing GPU driver (downloaded from NVIDIA homepage) on ubuntu, I sometimes encounter 'infinite log-in error'.


This is my temporary solution. "Just re-install"


step1) open terminal by typing 'ctrl+alt+f1'


step2) type password for log-in


step3) move to directory where the graphic card driver installation file exists. (NVIDIA-XXX.run file downloaded from NVIDIA website)


step4) remove the installed graphic card driver by typing

$ sudo sh NVIDIA*.run --uninstall


step5) reboot by typing  

$ sudo reboot now


step6) open terminal by  'ctrl+alt+f1'


step7) move to the directory and reinstall the graphic card driver by typing
$ sudo service lightdm stop
$ sudo init 3
$ sudo sh NVIDIA*.run 

$ sudo reboot now




( **What is 'infinite log-in error'? You cannot log-in ubuntu system. You see (repeatedly) ubuntu log-in page everytime you type your log-in password.)
