Crash on startup

[Mazey]

Hey there, never had problems with Mint but I needed to update some stuff and after googleing for ages and fixing some problems I can´t fix this one.

inxi -Gx gives this:

X.Org: 1.13.3 drivers: intel (unloaded: fbdev,vesa) FAILED: nvidia Resolution: 1024x768@60.0hz


I think that my Mint crashes because Nvidia failed, but I haven´t got a Nvidia at all! I have an Intel. Any ideas? I tried a lot already.

Mazey,

To get into your system highlight the normal mint entry in the grub menu then press 'e' in to edit the line then maneuver to the kernel line and enter modprobe.blacklist=nvidia at the end.

After you get in you'll have to check which nvidia package got installed and purge it.

Good luck

Nope, Mint still crashes and lets me run in the fallback mode.

Mazey,

When in fallback check for nvidia with dpkg -l|grep nvid and purge the package. Also check /etc/X11/ for an xorg.conf file. Move it to .bak just in case.

Yea I tweaked my xorg.conf so it fixed some of the bugs I had.
Here you can find it:

--edit-- Just looking at my pastebin, seems that it reverted the driver to nvidia.
--edit2-- After reverting it to intel I get exactly the same, fallback mode/crash
This is the output on the commands you gave:
