PC does not initiate after install

[pedroandrepi]

I have a laptop with OpenSUSE installed and use i3wm. After installing and selecting nvidia, my PC will reboot and either not load the greeter (lightdm), or load the greeter but immediately crash after login, returning to the greeter after that.

I tried sudo make uninstall and sudo make clear, both of which did not work. Then decided to delete the nvidia-prime file, to no avail. The PC still does not work and the only way to access it is through tty.

How do I revert this and get my PC back to normal? Thank you.

First, nvidia-prime-select is old and not maintained. there is new and probably better scripts today. Next: i3wm is not manage by the script, only lightdm, gdm, sddm are managed for sure. This is probably the /etc/X11/xorg.conf that is crashing the session, try to remove it first from a SU tty.
