The ubuntu stuck on boot screen, terminal works but GUI doesn't
0
I just performed a clean installation on my Computer, and it stuck on the loading screen at first startup. However, the terminal still works. I have tried update the graphic drivers (nvidia gtx 760), but it did not work. What should I do?

I am assuming that you trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS base on the tag. I had a similar issue. Try executing the following.
Sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-lts-precise
I also have documented few more tips here.

What I have tried is to update whatever the apt-get carries, perform a clean installation of the nvidia drive, all did not work. Well, it works in someway. When I checked the additional drivers, it appears the nvidia driver 319 was activated but not working that time. it seems to be a hardware issue..... I may try to instal a 13.10, and see what happens
