It's as the Title says, Just downloaded the ISO for Ubuntu 18.04.1 transferred it to a USB stick and installed from there. After install asks you to restart the machine and hard drive does a few accesses and then just hangs with a black screen.

Had the same Issue after installing Ubuntu 18.04 it ran fine and then allowing it to auto update. Tried grub menu options repair etc.

I'm a bit miffed as I was hoping to move away from Windows 10. Should I just stick with 18.04 and disable all updates?

  • How far do you get? Do you see grub at all? Have you tried any suggestions from here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/162075/my-computer-boots-to-a-black-screen-what-options-do-i-have-to-fix-it ? – ejjl Aug 01 '18 at 18:38
  • What brand/model system. If nvidia video Edmund L suggestion should work. – oldfred Aug 01 '18 at 22:28

Maybe you should try to boot with acpi_osi=! acpi_osi='Linux' or acpi=off or nomodeset in kernel parametets? If it boots with the first two something is wrong with your ACPI tables.

  • neither of the first two ideas work, only adding acpi=off which wasn't required for Ubuntu 14.04 or 16.04 – nmz787 Oct 07 '18 at 23:39
