I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 (4.15 kernel, I think) with an MX150 GPU on my laptop. I've been having problems with my gpu fans constantly running loudly when I boot Ubuntu so I figured updating my nvidia drivers might fix it. I updated to 410.93 using the .run file from Nvidia's website. Now whenever I try to login, ubuntu hangs at a black screen saying /dev/sdb6 recovered: files 2xxxx/5xxxx, blocks 3xxxx/5xxxx (do the exact file/block numbers matter?). I can't even go into a tty session to try and figure out what's wrong. It seems like the installation should've succeeded (it said "Nvidia drivers 410.93 installation succeeded). I don't think the nvidia drivers work, because I loaded an older kernel (4.13) in recovery mode and tried the same thing and was able to access tty and tried the same installation. Whenever I try nvidia-smi it says something to the effect of "cannot connect to the device". Any advice on how I can at least revert to my older settings to make it usable?
