I'm having no luck today.... Now when I boot I get busybox initramfs and can't get pass the screen. Think I would just be better off to reinstall at this point. Unless you have a solution for it. And i can follow the link to fix it.

I have compton installed just not added to startup. Don't know how to add it to start because xfce is not loading (just a wallpaper). Is the a way to add it to start up by pressing ctrl-alt-f2 and running a command?

So you've already installed and configured compton?

I ran the live image of linux lite, and replaced the xorg.conf with the original. And logged in and ctrl-alt-f2 ran sudo apt install [xserver-xorg-video-nouveau]. Logged back in. And xfce is still not rendering. Not sure what is happening.

Revert back to what you started with. Then search the forums for compton, should be the second result.

I'm new to linux. And was trying to prevent screen tearing with nvidia settings. My gpu is Geforce 1050ti. I selected the wrong xorg file and now i'm stuck with just a wallpaper and no xfce loading. The xorg.conf I selected was /usr/share/xresprobe. I also tried to purge nvidia drivers with "sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
