I downloaded the last version of Kubuntu (16.04) and installed in my laptop (Asus Rog G551j with a GeForce GTX960m video card) from a USB Stick.

The first thing I noticed, is that the version that was installed was Kubuntu 14.04. Everything worked fine (even the nvidia drivers).

Then i run the update manager (muon) and it updated the OS with Kubuntu 15.04. Everything worked fine (even the nvidia drivers).

I applied the same operation to upgrade to 16.04. And that's all my problems began: when i reboot after upgrade, when the os is booting (after the kubuntu splash image) the screen remains black.

I tried to add the "nomodeset" and "noveau.modeset=0" lines in grub and other things that are explained in

Graphics issues after/while installing Ubuntu 16.04/16.10 with NVIDIA graphics

but nothing works. =(

  • If the installed version is 14.04 then the installation media you used is 14.04. You may have selected the wrong one here : http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/ –  Sep 11 '16 at 18:01

Do you have your home folder encrypted?

I used to have an issue with black screen, but that was because I couldn't see letters asking me the password to decrypt my harddisk... Because the screen was blacked out.

I got past this by just entering my password and pressing return.

Afterwards, you can fix this by setting nouveau.modeset=0 in grub and installing the proper, proprietary Nvidia driver.
