I just bought a new laptop and I wanted to install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on it. The laptop has an ATI graphic card though which led to the problem of it simply black-screening and not booting. There already is a proposed solution here, but I don't seem to understand where the code changes should be made. When I try to enter sudo nano /etc/default/grub into the Grub console which you can access through pressing "c" while in Grub, it says that the command is unknown. So where should I enter the code?

Thanks in advance for your help!

You are attempting to run sudo and nano before your system has even booted (grub is just the bootloader). Hit CTRL+ALT+F1 when reaching the log-in screen to go directly to a terminal instead of GUI.

You can then make said commands.

  • I don't even get that far, sadly. I just get a black screen and can't do anything about that, I guess I'll just try reinstalling.... – user263291 Mar 29 '14 at 17:30
  • Can you plug and boot from a liveUSB or liveCD? You should be able to open a terminal from that, and then modify the file on your disk . – Gx1sptDTDa Mar 31 '14 at 13:15
