    Hi guys, im needing help!

    this command didn't work
    Code:
    nvidia-xconfig --query-gpu-info
    so i uninstall the nvidia driver and now i cant log in gdm, the login screen appears but dont go to desktop.

    i see this error after run journalctl
    Code:
    kali /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session: unable to run X server
    someone know how can i fix this?
    thanks!

    i saw the log of nvidia-uninstall and nvidia-installer
    Code:
    /var/log/nvidia-uninstall.log
    /var/log/nvidia-installer.log
    And i found out that the nvidia removed the xserver-xorg in the installation and when i uninstalled an error happened when they try to back to original
    Code:
    ERROR: Failed to run '/usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig --restore-original-backup'
    so to fix my problem i had to reinstall the xserver-xorg
