The cleanest, easiest way to fix XOrg-related problems in Ubuntu
XOrg problems seem to be the most vexing problems for new Ubuntu users for a number of reasons - why it hasn’t been solved is mostly due to political nonsense, lack of developers who know about X11, and being hamstrung by proprietary video drivers. If you’re stuck and can’t get to the login screen (probably), hit Alt-F2, then log in as the regular user. You’ll be dropped at a text-only prompt where you can enter these commands. PS: Make sure for `uname -r` that those characters are backquotes, i.e the character below Tilde (~) on US keyboards, not the apostrophe (’).
