My Ubuntu 22.04 was regular updated again and after reboot I lost my Desktop. I get just a black screen and a login string. When I enter a name, the Password appears. Then I enter the password and just get into the terminal.

I tried to install the ubuntu-desktop through the Terminal, it doesn’t work, some files are missing or something is in the way. I've tried reinstall ubuntu-desktop - and I get the same thing.

I've tried reinstalling the Nvidia drivers but still getting errors.

Any advice and help on restoring the Desktop is welcome.

  • Can you please post what commands you have tried and any errors you have received. – David Nov 03 '22 at 14:28
  • @David `sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop` and `sudo apt reinstall ubuntu-desktop`, but I'm not sure if this is the correct way. – Elliot13 Nov 03 '22 at 14:35
  • You said you did something with the Nvidia drivers as well. – David Nov 03 '22 at 14:42

I had something similar happen and had to uninstall the GPU driver to get back to a working desktop.

Also have you tried startx at the command prompt?
