My Ubuntu Ubuntu (20.04.2 LTS) only starts in nomodeset. I believe it is a graphic card issue, but I do not know how to fix it. I have an intel graphic card on an HP laptop. Reinstalling Ubuntu did not help. Should I reinstall my graphic driver? and if yes, how?

My laptop model is HP Pavilion 15-eg0097nr.

lspci | grep VGA shows my VGA as "Intel Corporation Device 9a49 (rev 01)"

Thank you very much!

What model number is your laptop? What Intel integrated graphics model do you have (you can find this out by running lspci | grep VGA in a terminal)? – galexite Jul 31 '21 at 08:04
Can you edit the original question to add this information? – galexite Jul 31 '21 at 08:05
dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video-intel I had the same Problem because of this package. – nobody Aug 01 '21 at 10:57
@galexite: I did. Thanks. – Taha Valizadeh Aug 01 '21 at 13:06
Maybe this link to another question here at Askubuntu will help you. It seems oibaf provides a solution. – sudodus Aug 01 '21 at 13:21
@nobody I removed it using sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-intel It did not solve the issue. – Taha Valizadeh Aug 02 '21 at 02:22
@guiverc: I am not sure. I downloaded the LTS version of Ubuntu (20.04) – Taha Valizadeh Aug 02 '21 at 02:24
Please correct your question then, Ubuntu Core 20 has a 10 year supported life like all year format releases; which is longer than LTS provides (thus LTS isn't mentioned) but 20 implies it's a snap only product and not a 20.04 or year.month system. Ubuntu has both products that use the year format (20) and year.month (20.04) but they're not the same. (if your question issue is removed; I can remove my comment) – guiverc Aug 02 '21 at 02:26
@guiverc Thank you very much for correcting my mistake. I fixed it. – Taha Valizadeh Aug 05 '21 at 06:52
