Hello,
After trying to install an nvidia driver on Debian Stretch to properly handle my graphic card, I tried to restart my computer and I get the really useful "Oh no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again." The thing is, I really have no clue where I need to look up for answers when I connect in recovery mode. Which commands would be useful to gather the right informations for you to be able to help ?
Thanks in advance

Yes, I did
But I must apologize for the rush as I found a solution after looking around the internet, and it seems that running the following command after logging in as root in recovery mode worked :
It seems to get rid of the nvidia drivers, I didn't manage to install the correct drivers but at least I can now access the desktop.

If you want help diagnosing what went wrong, install inxi and give us the result of "inxi -G". A common problem is trying to install the standard Nvidia drivers setup on an Optimus laptop instead of Bumblebee.
If you don't have an Optimus setup, refer to the Nvidia driver install procedure in the wiki, run each step, and give the full output of the command from the terminal here in code tags. Those can be copied and pasted from the terminal.

If it's working properly now, why not stick with it? The default nouveau drivers work perfectly fine with most earlier cards (pre GTX9xx series) unless you use heavy 3D applications.juber wrote: I didn't manage to install the correct drivers but at least I can now access the desktop.

You followed the WIKI and nvidia-detect advised you to install the wrong driver? I've not heard that one before.
