I have Linux Mint 19 installed on a PC with an nVidia video card. After installing the nvidia drivers, it started to fail. Just a few seconds after loading and displaying cinnamon, the screen begins to blink and everything freezes. This linux, notice that it was not completely updated.
As soon as it finishes loading, before it freezes, I can access a console by pressing CTRL + ALT + Fn.
I was able to enter recovery mode, and I was able to uninstall the nvidia drivers with the command:
Code: Select all
apt-get remove nvidia-*
apt-get purge

I try with the boot parameters "nomodeset xforcevesa" and even so it continues to fail.
