Ubuntu GNOME boots to grey screen with border
Tyler Lafayette
I have just finished installing Ubuntu GNOME version 16.04 and when I boot (UEFI) I am presented with a grey screen with a darker grey border. I have tried get into the command line with shift and ctrl + alt + f1 and it has not worked. All help is appreciated, thanks!

So the answer for me was to just install normal Ubuntu from Canonical. When it booted, Unity looked really messed up (I think it was Compiz), but I went into the Terminal and installed GNOME desktop from there, restarted, installed graphics drivers, and now it's fine.
