For black screen on Linux, see about adding "nomodeset" to the GRUB load line, right after "quiet splash", and do not forget to do a
sudo update-grub
after editing the
/etc/default/grub
with
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
so the line should look like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
I think you need to quantify that the first time you modify the kernel commandline is at the grub boot screen. Also it maybe an idea to delete quiet & splash so you can see the kernel messages.
Thanks, I tried the nomodeset thing last night--no luck. There are lots of similar threads and that change helps some people, but not all. In my case, it made no difference.
