So I have tried the steps outlined in this article Nvidia driver doesn't work in 12.10 but still to no avail. My screen normally pops up as just what’s on the desktop and the mouse, the only way to get out of it is to either uninstall the nvidia driver or change it back to the original graphics driver. I do get an error that says "Plymouth unmounted" or something like that when it loads up. This is my first time ever using Ubuntu (I have 12.10 installed) so any help would be appreciated.

Remove the existing driver Codes:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current
sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current-updates
Install NVIDIA driver Codes:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
Then restart the computer and run this:
nvidia x server settings
If you get "nvidia: command not found"; then run this:
nvidia-settings
Done!
