Nvidia stops working on kernel upgrade (login loop problem) : Ubuntu

It may happen in the machines having latest Nvidia cards to which Ubuntu default repository Nvidia drivers are not compatible, and you might have installed driver from binary file available on Nvidia official site.

When you logout or restart after upgrade system, you get trapped in to login loop. Login window appears but you fail to get in.

Soln:

Ctrl+ Alt + F1

Login to the terminal on screen

$ sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm  stop

go to the folder where you have saved your binary file

$ sudo sh ./NVIDIAfileName.bin --dpkg

Follow the instructions to reinstall it. Restart on completion. You may find that compiz is not working properly. So

$ dconf reset -f /org/compiz/
$  unity --reset-icons

----------------------
QED

Reset Compiz

dconf reset -f /org/compiz/

setsid unity

Very important: The C++ language is a "case sensitive" language. 

Storage classes

The storage for variables with global or namespace scope is allocated for the entire duration of the program. This is known as static storage, and it contrasts with the storage for local variables (those declared within a block). These use what is known as automatic storage. The storage for local variables is only available during the block in which they are declared; after that, that same storage may be used for a local variable of some other function, or used otherwise.

But there is another substantial difference between variables with static storage and variables with automatic storage:
- Variables with static storage (such as global variables) that are not explicitly initialized are automatically initialized to zeroes.
- Variables with automatic storage (such as local variables) that are not explicitly initialized are left uninitialized, and thus have an undetermined value.

Change terminal work place to look like [02:43:14]/h/r/Desktop:

PROMPT_COMMAND='pwd2=$(sed "s:\([^/]\)[^/]*/:\1/:g" <<<$PWD)'
export PS1='\[\033[1;35m\][\t]\[\033[1;33m\]$pwd2\[\033[1;36m\]: '


Put the above two lines in the .bashrc file and re-login. Change \numbers to edit the colour.

Checks column 2, 3 and 4 for any -ve value, and replaces it by +ve.

awk '{print $1, $2<0?$2*-1:$2, $3<0?$3*-1:$3, $4<0?$4*-1:$4}' file1 > file2

awk '{ print $1,"\t" $2*10}' file.in > file.out

Multiply column 2 by 10.

sed -n '0~10p' file.in > file.out

To copy every 10th row, starting from 0th row, from a file file.in to file.out

Reduce the size of an image.

identify name1.file name2.file  #.... (This will give the details of files.)
convert in.file -resize n out.file # (converts infile to outfile of size n x n+dn )

Reverse the order of rows

sed -n '1!G;h;$p' file1 > file2

Copying n1 and n2 columns from data file 'file1' and writing in to a newly created file 'file2'

  

 awk '{print $n1  "\t"   $n2}' file1 > file2
