Hi, Yesterday I (belatedly) realised that my desktop PC with Kubuntu 13.10 installed hadn't put any updates in since way before Christmas. Assuming that the Muon Updater had stopped alerting me, I ran it and found that around 300 + packages needed updating, including the kernel. Unfortunately, after the update, the machine froze at the boot message stage.
Having no idea what had gone wrong, I did a clean install from the original CD and reapplied all of the updates. After the reboot all seemed well until.... I installed the Nvidia driver and got exactly the same symptoms. I then concluded that the problem is a mismatch between the new kernel and the old nvidia driver (it worked OK before the new kernel was installed. So now I've booted into Recovery Mode and am sitting in a root prompt. How do I remove the nvidia driver from the system and reinstall the old driver (presumably noveau)? I can see that apt-get allows me to remove the offending package, but I can't remember how to list the installed and available packages that I can access. Are there any other things that I need to do?
