Error when boot: Could not write bytes: broken pipe
Good day,
I see there are various questions about the same topic but it looks like the cause are somewhat different. I tried tor resolve my problem by looking and trying some of the solutions but without any success so far. I suspect my problems come in with the graphics drivers as I made a change to the resolution and then for some reason I could not reset the resolution to the original values. I therefore installed the latest nvidia drivers by using the following:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
but I think I made a mistake by then also installing this afterwards:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
I rebooted and now I get this error:
Could not write bytes: broken pipe
Assistance will be highly appreciated
boot nvidia restore pipe

Error: could not write bytes: Broken pipe
In case you cant see it:
- CTRL-ALT-F1 (to get a CLI)
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*
- sudo apt-get install invida-current-updates
and just in case:
sudo rm .Xauthority

I faced the same error message (in 12.04 on a Lenovo ThinkPad T500) immediately during the boot process and could not get through to any login screen. I had caused this behaviour before by manually modifying the xorg.conf file with a line that should do something desired. (Silly me! :-()
To reverse the entry I booted from another partition, mounted my dysfunct old root partition and changed the xorg.conf back again.
After that my familiar root partition returned like a charm. :-)
