I installed drivers for my gtx 1070 and it said to reboot. I did so and there is now no gui. Kinda noobish Linux user, any help would be appreciated.

How did you install the nvidia driver? What driver branch did you install?
Harvey I don't know I just used the application that's pre-installed

There are several ways, via the Software Center or via Hardware Drivers in the system menu or by downloading it directly from nvidia and manually installing?
After booting to the screen with the blinking _
Press ctrl+alt+f2 you'll have a terminal login screen, login as normal and run eopkg li | grep nvidia-
and report the output here.
nvidia-340-glx-driver-modaliases
nvidia-390-glx-driver-modaliases
nvidia-glx-driver-common
nvidia-glx-driver-modaliases
Harvey nvidia-340-glx-driver-modaliases
nvidia-390-glx-driver-modaliases
nvidia-glx-driver-common
nvidia-glx-driver-modaliases
Ok assuming thats everything it listed, you've installed part of the driver (common) not the entire thing.
Run:
sudo eopkg it nvidia-glx-driver-current
Then reboot:
sudo reboot
You should now have the GUI back.
Harvey Seems to have worked perfectly!
Harvey Thank you very much
Harvey Seems to have broken the text in the terminal? Not sure how this happened.. But the only notable change was the driver update - ignore the fact that the image is super blue, not sure why that happened when I screenshotted
Harvey Thank you, but this did not fix the issue with the terminal. The text spacing is all off for some reason now.
Harvey Yes, was talking about the terminal text spacing, should I make a new post?
Harvey If you don't know what to do, I'll make another post. Here's my current settings:
Harvey I misread, you said font, not front:
Harvey Alright, will make a new one right away - just wasn't wanting to spam the forums
Harvey That fixed it!
