I just finished setting up a dual boot with Ubuntu and Windows 10 on my HP G6, and I ran into a really frustrating problem. Ever since I finished the install, my screen goes black right after I choose Ubuntu and it finishes loading. I can bypass by changing around the quick splash in grub. Or by opening in recovery and them proceeding to launch normally.
I assume it has something to do with my drivers but they're all active in additional drivers. So it's probably something I need to either change in grub that will stay permanently or find a driver update online.
I'm really new to Linux so any help is really appreciated. Very excited to get into this OS and have some fun. Thanks.
First, boot to recovery mode and drop to a root shell.
1) Mount the file system as R/W: mount -o remount,rw /
2) Next, run sudo nano /etc/default/grub
3) Then add nomodeset to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
Becomes:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
And then save by hitting Ctrl+O, then exit nano with Ctrl+X
4) Finally, run:
sudo update-grub
sudo reboot
