I'm sure that this has been asked before. I'm not completely new to Ubuntu, I started with 9.04, but I stopped using it for a long time, and am currently Dual-Booting 11.10 alongside Windows 7 on my laptop.

I wanted to enable the Compiz effects, but Ubuntu was not recognizing my graphics card (nVidia GeForce 525M) so I thought maybe updating the driver would help. I Ctrl+Alt+F1 entered TTY mode, and I did the following: 

sudo service lightdm stop
cd ~/Downloads
sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-290.10.run

and then I went through the setup for the nVidia driver. It said it installed correctly, so I restarted my laptop through Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and then when I went to load Ubuntu, it loaded in TTY mode.

I can't seem to figure out how to get back to the User Interface for Ubuntu.

Anyone who could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated.

The same thing happened to me and I had to reinstall Ubuntu :( I don't know why it does it but I think the only thing you can do is reinstall. However someone correct me if I'm wrong
