Also, please indicate if you run a 64 or 32 bit architecture, and if you have a Nvidia card, please tell us exactly which model. Also, please attach your /etc/X11/xorg.conf before driver update, and after, and also please attach your .xsession-errors file.
If you don't know how to do this, the following should be aproximately good :
- Ctrl+Alt+F1
- login
- type :
sudo mkdir /media/myusb
- plug your USB key
- type :
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/myusb -- here i assume you have only 1 HDD, thus the 'b' stands for second disk : your usb key.
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /media/myusb/newxorg.conf -- i assume you already saved the one when your desktop was still booting properly
cp ~/.xsession-errors /media/myusb
Then you can grab your files from the USB key.
Thanks in advance if you can do this. It'll very likely help us to track the bug down.
