[SOLVED] Can't boot due to graphic drivers Linux Mint

Issue

I've got troubles with my Linux. Everything work perfectly before but once i've reboot it, i can't access to the login screen. The only way to access to Mint (log, use it, etc) is to use the recory mode. But i've got the message "running in software rendering mode...".

Can someone know how to resolve those troubles.

P.S : Excuse me for my bad english

Solution

I've got the same issue with ElementaryOS, a black screen showed up after the system logo animation, after researching I found that the problem was due to a glitch in my graphics driver.

So installing the default driver for my provider fixed that:

apt-get install nvidia-304

The following problem was a login loop (after entering my password and hit enter, it redirected me to login again). The solution was to reassign the permissions to my User:

sudo chown $USER:$USER .Xauthority

I hope it helps
