I fell victim to the often reported login loop. Simply put, I cannot log onto the desktop of any of the accounts on my Ubuntu 16.04 operating system. I logged in via tty to extract the xsession-error logs, but I sadly can't make heads or tails of those errors.

Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: I'm pretty sure that my nvidia drivers are the culprit, so if anyone has a quick guide at hand how I can locate and update the drivers, I'm eager to hear it. I'm using the GeForce GT 420.
