So I've got an interesting one here...
When I boot my computer I'm presented with a blank screen after the Ubuntu loading screen. The weird thing is that if I go into the grub loader, then select recovery mode but select to continue with normal boot it works fine.
I tried reconfiguring as well as reinstalling GDM. I'm sort of at a loss of ideas now. Any and all help is definitely appreciated. Thanks!

First press Ctrl + Alt + F2 then login into your account. Then install lightdm as sudo apt-get install lightdm then set lightdm as default by writing sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm Then restart the system and voilà!
To disable gdm from running during boot, you can either boot with the "text" boot parameter or disable the rc service like this: sudo update-rc. d gdm stop 2 3 4 5 .
Summary. If you're using the GNOME desktop environment, then it is highly recommended to use GDM to avoid any dependency-related issues. For any other Desktop Environment, you can choose to use LightDM without any issues. LightDM also has some issue with the NVIDIA drivers and sometimes auto-login doesn't work on it.
To change your display manager, you can use the command dpkg-reconfigure followed by an installed display manager. After running the command dpkg-reconfigure, you'll see the screen shown above with a brief description of display managers.
First press Ctrl + Alt + F2 then login into your account. Then install lightdm as sudo apt-get install lightdm then set lightdm as default by writing sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm Then restart the system and voilà! Everything seems to be running perfectly!
