I was working on another ubuntu
problem , which required me to add a command to my startup list. Now, when I try to boot up, my OS gets stuck at this screen. Any way to fix this?
I added a command relating to nvidia drivers. This is the problem which I was working on.
Assuming you used the Startup Applications utility to add your command, according to this answer https://askubuntu.com/a/63413/55779 you should be able to:
Boot into a bootable Ubuntu USB stick.
Mount your HD and go to /home/YOURUSER/.config/autostart (or /etc/xdg/autostart if you set it up globally).
Edit the .desktop file for your custom command with a text editor of your choice.
Set X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled to false.
Save the file.
Reboot without the USB stick and assuming there are no other problems, your system should boot back up normally.
