Greeting fellow members,
New XFCE 17.1 install, that was functioning correctly, on new tower computer, specs ASUS mobo, Intel i7 cpu, with OPTIONAL extra: nVidia graphic card (GeForce GT 730) thinking this would enhance/improve viewing performance of DVD's and graphics. Until I enabled the recommended nVidia 331.113 driver from the Driver Manager. Causing it to taint the kernel and boot process, as the encrypted login screen could only be accessed by pressing the Esc key.
