I have been having difficulties with my Ubuntu installation.
It will no longer boot and shows a frozen cursor in the top left corner, I have checked many websites and have tried stuff like nomodeset, and I am able to access the console by typing Ctrl+Alt+F2. So I can apply terminal related fixes. I have lost my Ubuntu install USB so that is not an option. I have even tried changing session/display managers. Nothing has worked.
I am using Nvidia graphics cards. Ubuntu has been installed for two months and was working fine until now. This is on Ubuntu 19.10 with dev builds.
I was just installing nvidux or however it's spelled to attempt to overclock my PC's gpu. On reboot it is doing this now.
I have tried many other posts and none of the methods I could do worked. Nomodeset was attempted and failed. I tried changing display managers, failed, and I tried clearing displays from xorg or whatever that was called. Failed, tried many others but forgot what they were. They all changed nothing
I only have access to console so I can't attempt the boot repair tool or anything like that
Booting from another kernel version gets stuck at "Started process error reports when automatic reporting is enabled" and then freezes. Power button works to turn off though
I have an image of it the cursor in the top left, but I can't post due to low reputation.
