Cannot get rid of nvidia drivers, restore nouveau driver and get desktop working
I made the mistake of installing the Nvidia Linux drivers direct from their website.
It failed because it could not remove the nouveau driver.
Next I manually installed the nvidia drivers from the repository which successfully installed the nvidia driver, but the Ubuntu desktop does not function; no launcher, no menu bar, no windows. (Gnome seems to work though).
So I want to revert back to the vanilla installed nouveau driver.
I tried
sudo stop lightdm
sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo reboot
but lshw -c video reveals I still have one nvidia driver and one i915 driver.
nouveau has not returned and the desktop will not function.
I am considering a complete reinstall, is there anything else to try?
I have followed the other threads with the same issues, but the solutions did not work
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Creates an error.
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg.core libgl1-mesa-glx
Did not make a difference.

For me, substituting in a xorg.conf file worked, even using the failsafe one already in the folder. If there's absolutely no xorg.conf, it'll likely not work.

Had the same problem.
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core libgl1-mesa-glx
This actually fixed it. Ubuntu 13.10 x64 + nVidia 740M. Thank you very much!
You did not mention your GPU. If you've had that problem on a laptop, I'd suggest its because of the so-called "Fusion" system (which uses your integrated GPU in lieu of discrete one when you don't need it).

Be sure you remove all blacklist entries involving nouveau from /etc/modprobe.d as well.
Otherwise even if the system is configured to use it, it will not. I believe blacklist-local, and the nvidia backlists will be of primary concern.

Try this:
cd /etc/modules-load.d/
mv nvidia.conf nvidia.conf.backup
cd /etc/modprobe.d/
mv nvidia-blacklists-nouveau.conf nvidia-blacklists-nouveau.conf.backup
mv nvidia.conf nvidia.conf.backup
mv nvidia-kernel-common.conf nvidia-kernel-common.conf.backup
Good luck!
