Hey! I'm just getting started with Ubuntu, and I'm trying to fix a login loop after installing NVIDIA drivers for my GTX 1050. The main things that might help are:
- My system has both Windows and Ubuntu installed (dual boot).
- I'm not using WiFi or Ethernet; I'm connecting my phone via WiFi.

Boot Ubuntu without logging in at the GUI. Press Ctrl+Alt-F1 to open a terminal. Type 'this' to halt GUI login: sudo systemctl stop lightdm. Generate a xconfig file with sudo nvidia-xconfig. Restart GUI login using sudo systemctl start lightdm. Press Ctrl+Alt-F7 to return to the GUI login.
