I am new to Ubuntu and linux in general. I have recently dual booted Ubuntu 18.04 along with Windows 10. I have installed it through UEFI. Whenever I boot into Ubuntu by choosing it from grub, it shows Ubuntu logo for sometime and then the system shuts down automatically. It happens every time I boot into Ubuntu. I can boot into recovery mode only. Shall I reconsider installing with MBR. Or is there any other workaround. I am very new to Ubuntu and I have no idea whats going around.

  • Do you have an Nvidia graphics card? If so, did you install the Nvidia drivers? Do you know how to boot with nomodeset? – heynnema May 16 '20 at 23:35
  • Yes I'm having Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050Ti. I don't know what is nomodeset. I will check it out. Thanks for your help. – Mandar May 18 '20 at 02:37
  • Let's find out what version Nvidia driver you have installed. dpkg -l *nvidia* | grep ii – heynnema May 18 '20 at 02:55
  • Also show me sudo dmidecode -s bios-version and tell me the make/model of your computer. You'll probably have to do this and the prior command in Recovery Mode. – heynnema May 18 '20 at 02:57
  • Were you able to find information about booting with nomodeset? Or shall I give you brief instructions? – heynnema May 18 '20 at 13:20
  • See the accepted answer at https://askubuntu.com/questions/1085807/black-screen-after-installation-of-ubuntu-18-04 for how to use nomodeset. – heynnema May 18 '20 at 13:48
  • Thank you everyone for taking your valuable time to answer my query. I just installed Nvidia drivers for my graphic card and the problem was solved. – Mandar May 19 '20 at 04:28

Installed Nvidia driver 440.82 and it's all working now.

  • Yeah. Thanks for putting in efforts to solve my query. In the meantime I upgraded to 20.04 and it works there as well. – Mandar May 20 '20 at 15:07
  • Yeah I have done that, but since my reputation is less than 15, that won't affect the score. Sorry for that. – Mandar May 21 '20 at 16:17
