hiccup a while back and I thought I'd ask the group's advice.
Immediately following a software update, which I noted included a
video driver, my system crashed. It would load through to accessing
the purple Ubuntu splash screen then flip over to for want of a
better description an emergency menu. After repeated iterations I was
unable to figure out how to access the system. I can't tell you why I
thought to take the next step but I did – I swapped the current
video card, a GeForce 730 for an old GeForce 7600 -- and it got me
in. I went to Software & Updates > Additional Drivers where I
was able to select a driver compatible with the 730. Generally
speaking, I opt for the most recent proprietary, tested version.
