Remove Nvidia Proprietary Driver to avoid crashing

Ug... best not to purchase one of these in the first place.  Buy a different card if you can.  Nvidia is the worst.

Symptom:  Running Ubuntu 16.04 and after loading the proprietary Nvidia driver and rebooting login would fail and loop back to the login screen again.

Removed using the following:

Ctrl+Alt+F1 so you can get to a tty prompt

sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
echo "nouveau" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
sudo reboot

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean

Mounting 64 GB SDCard on Linux

64 gig cards are likely to use the exfat file system which is not natively supported on Linux.

UPDATED:  Add the Universe repository and then run the following:
sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils


OLD Info:

I'm running Ubuntu so I ran the following:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:relan/exfat
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fuse fuse-exfat exfat-utils

mkdir /media/sdcard

mount -t exfat -o uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1003,gid=1003,iocharset=utf8,namecase=0,errors=remount-ro,umask-0077 /dev/sde1 /media/sdcard


Initial Error Message:
Error mounting /dev/sde1 at /media/sdcard: Command-line `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1003,gid=1003,iocharset=utf8,namecase=0,errors=remount-ro,umask=0077" "/dev/sde1" "/media/sdcard"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'

After upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04 Totem unable to play flv files in firefox.

To fix... ran:
sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad-videoparsers

Installed Pidgin from repository on Ubuntu 12.04...

Added SIPE plugin from here:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/amd64/pidgin-sipe/1.11.2-1ubuntu1

Project screen shots are here:
http://sipe.sourceforge.net/screens/

I was running a live DVD so even though newer versions were available it complicated the dependencies and I was in a hurry... so I loaded this version.

Under Basic Tab:
Listed SIP account as the username.
Login:  Used my AD account and PW

Under Advanced I changed email address if different from login name to match my actual email address.
