  • Nvidia drivers login loop plus flickering/blinking screen-Ubuntu 18.04 Linux

    Got stuck in the login loop. I hard restarted the computer....went into the terminal and was having some path issues (I wanted to uninstall nvidia drivers). Ended up rebooting thru the terminal--it took me to the option of restarting in recovery mode, which I did. However, now when I try to go back into the terminal (ctl+alt+F3), the screen is blinking/flickering. So it is very difficult to enter in my username, not to mention the impossibility of typing in the password.

    What can I do to fix this or at least get back into the terminal? I'll note that this all happened immediately after a MinIon run stopped, so if there's any way/need to do a backup, that would be great, too.

    Also, if you have any permanent ways to fix the nvidia drivers--I'm all ears.

    Can you login via ssh from another computer to avoid the flickering?

      Is that something I would need to have already set up? I've never done that before.

        It depends on the installation. On a mac laptop, open your terminal and
        ssh [email protected]s (with your username and your server's IP address) and then give your password. On a PC/chromebook get a ssh chrome plugin and do the same.

          I don't know our computer's IP address. Found directions for accessing it via the BIOs settings; however, I don't seem to have the IPMI configuration option & didn't manage to find it elsewhere. So maybe I can't do this since I've never set up remote access before? Do you know somewhere else where I could find my IP address (while I'm still "locked out?")?

            Sorry, that's out of my area. Your IT support might know it if it is a static IP, or have a way to look it up from the jack if it is assigned.

              Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
              by seqadmin


              Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
