If you’re stuck at this screen and every time you attempt to sign in, Ubuntu pauses for a moment, then acts as if you’d typed the wrong password, you’re in a “login loop.” There are a few potential solutions to this issue:
SOLUTION #1: REINSTALL NVIDIA DRIVERS
The easiest way to do this is to reinstall Lambda Stack, which include’s NVIDIA’s GPU driver. At the login screen you’re stuck on, press CTRL+Alt+F1; this will open up a terminal. Now, enter the following command:
LAMBDA_REPO=$(mktemp) && \
wget -O${LAMBDA_REPO} https://lambdal.com/static/files/lambda-stack-repo.deb && \
sudo dpkg -i ${LAMBDA_REPO} && rm -f ${LAMBDA_REPO} && \
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y lambda-stack-cuda
Now, reboot the machine.
SOLUTION #2: DISABLE SECURE BOOT
This is a UEFI (replacement for BIOS) setting that breaks NVIDIA’s GPU drivers. Follow instructions here to disable Secure Boot. You should now be able to log in.

Hi Sagubaja, we’ve sent you an email from our official support team who will be looking into this for you!
Hello,
I have a Lambda Quad and this fix does not work for me. There appears to be an error during driver installation. Error log attached below.
Hey! Can you try installing from the public repos instead:
LAMBDA_REPO=$(mktemp) && \
wget -O${LAMBDA_REPO} https://lambdal.com/static/files/lambda-stack-repo.deb && \
sudo dpkg -i ${LAMBDA_REPO} && rm -f ${LAMBDA_REPO} && \
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y lambda-stack-cuda
Let me know if that helps @dkermany
That did the trick. Thanks!
