I'm not even able to access other TTYs (the error logs below were retrieved via SSH). **/var/log/Xorg.0.log** There doesn't seem to be anything problematic in this file. **/var/log/Xorg.1.log** The problematic message seems to be: [ 26.455] (EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Failed to acquire modesetting permission.
