Ubuntu version is 12.04.3. My computer is a Asus laptop, UL30Jt with a Nvidia graphics card. I previously had problems getting the graphics drivers to work, but I resolved that previously today. Afterwards I attempted to reboot and it worked fine, then I installed glfw and afterwards it won't start the gui after restarting.
I am not completely sure, but I think it was after I installed glfw, and it's dependencies xorg-dev and libglu1-mesa-dev.
Pressing ctrl + alt + f1 brings up the terminal where I can login.
I tried running for example glxinfo, which just prints:
Error: unable to open display.
I tried running glxinfo previously, when I was trying to figure out my driver problems nad it printed .. information of some kind. (Different from this error message, I dont remember what it was.)
I have been using Ubuntu for about 4 months, so I am not terribly experienced with different useful commands.
I have looked at this without finding anything useful.
startx gets a fatal error:
Fatal server error: no screens found
sudo service lightdm start or sudo start lightdm just takes me back to the blinking underscore, and pressing ctrl + shift + f1 takes me back to the terminal.
I tried running sudo apt-get install nvidia-current (which installed a bunch of stuff) and then rebooting which had no effect.
This also happened the last time I tried to install glfw, I don't know if it is the actual cause, but it has happened after attempting to install glfw twice in a row now. The last time I got the error message "could not write bytes broken pipe", however this time I don't get that. I fixed it by reinstalling Ubuntu, but it would be painful to have to do that again.

Now it skips over the flashing underscore and goes directly to the terminal, but still can't get any gui.
