My Ubuntu PC got stuck in a login loop due to an error I got from the nvidia driver. I also got this error few times earlier with another pc, however re-installing the driver was solving the problem. However in this case, I am not able to re-install the driver. Normally what I do:
sudo service lightdm stop
sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
sudo ./NVIDIA-driver(XXX.XX).run
after a successful installation of the nvidia driver
sudo service lightdm start
and normally it would solve the problem. Even before these steps, when I was asking for nvidia-smi, it was not able to detect the gpu in the machine. I am trying to install the new driver, however it also fails during the installation of the kernel.
I use a Tesla C2075 and I have read all the available answers here, however none of them has solved my problem. Please let me know if any further information needed.

Trysudo apt install gdm3,sudo service lightdm stopand thensudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm. This will install a different display manager that, for me, works with Nvidia cards and proprietary drivers. Unfortunately a lot of Nvidia cards/drivers just seem to dislike lightdm so I'm not sure there's a fix, only workarounds.

Trysudo apt install gdm3,sudo service lightdm stopand thensudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm. This will install a different display manager that, for me, works with Nvidia cards and proprietary drivers. Unfortunately a lot of Nvidia cards/drivers just seem to dislike lightdm so I'm not sure there's a fix, only workarounds.
