I've installed AMD graphic drivers and rebooted my system. Now when i'm logging in my screen turns off or shows a lot of noise in different colors, but i cant see anything. That means i cant use my Xubuntu insalled on HDD. I've live USB Stick, how to revert installation using Live USB? Or maybe nay other possibilities?

  1. Boot your computer.

  2. After it is started, swicth to TTY1 by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1

  3. Log in using your normal username and password.

  4. run this command to remove the drivers sudo apt-get purge "fglrx.*" "fglrx-amdcccle.*"

  5. run sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf to delete the x.org configuration file.

  6. run sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64 to re-install x.org.

  7. run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to reconfigure x.org.

  8. run sudo reboot to reboot.

You can do this from your Xubuntu computer, but you will need to type all these commands in. A lot of this I copy pasted from here: How do I remove the proprietary ATI drivers?

I don't use AMD drivers personally.
