I recently got an Nvidia card, after long debating I convinced myself that I earned a little gaming - tho I only used the machine for webdev. so far I have no experience with gcards and ubuntu.

I installed the driver, or at least I tried. I got some problem with the nouveau kernel - so whatever stumbled upon this thread

How to disable Nouveau kernel driver

Did whats posted on the accepted answer and now the pc won´t start.

I got 2 Kernels in the Advanced Menu (4.10.0-35 and 4.10.0-37) but in the root bash I also do not get any eth device to work, so no way of sudo apt-get update / upgrade.

Tomorrow I can get an USB Stick with 17.04 Live on it, any quick way to fix that with the Live Image? Recovery? Will it keep my files - I got an Backup, but not from my databases. So it would be nice to fix it.

Is there a log where I can figure out where the problem is?

Had the same issue.

There is a way to boot with Ubuntu "live CD" or "Live USB stick", then select "Try Ubuntu".

When in, you can mount your "broken" system in terminal with:

sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt

sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev

sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc

sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys

sudo chroot /mnt

now you can delete all the nvidia stuff and revert the blacklisting....
