I am having a problems installing Ubuntu in my new Acer laptop. I get a black screen

I solved this problem by setting nomodeset following this answer before the installation. I installed Ubuntu normally.

But after I restart my laptop I have no screen.

What can I do about it ?

UPDATE: the problem seems to be my nvidia gpu, according to this article.

But should I apply these changes when I can not see my desktop

  • nomodeset is a kernel paramether do you have added to the new line of the kernel? – fpilee Dec 11 '13 at 16:19
  • no, when i initially bootet from my usb stick, i press "down-arrow" and get advanced boot options. i set "nomodeset" there so i can install ubuntu. now it is installed, i dont use the stick anymore, but get no picture – Hannes Dec 11 '13 at 16:25
  • sudo nano /etc/default/grub – fpilee Dec 11 '13 at 16:45
  • then add nomodeset to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" then sudo update-grub – fpilee Dec 11 '13 at 16:47

If it is your nvidia card, it should be possible to boot in recovery mode. Hold down left shift when your computer starts and the grub menu will appear. From here you can choose recovery mode.
