how do i recover broken install?
I was trying to install nvidia cuda support with the OEM drivers, and black listing neavou, upon reboot, I can only gain a graphical session using Ubuntu Wayland using gdm3. I undid the changes I know I made, and removed the blacklisting of noeavuo. this did not fix my computer though.
I can also login via the terminal. I tried a variety of things to startx, but persistently it just seems to hang up. Im not sure what to do. I only installed gdm3 to gain access to the wayland interface, lightdm also was crashing.

Try running the history command, it should show you what was processed that you might need to roll back. Other than that, check log files and
dmesg |tail
or so.

So here is what I did to recover:
sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg
this has the side effect of removing ubuntu-mate-core, which is hey, I need that.
then:
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg ubuntu-mate-core
then
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
when I rebooted, I was then able to select the Mate session, and everything appears to be back to normal.
