I'm using a Lenovo g50 laptop and I have installed windows 10 alongside with Ubuntu 16.04.

I know that this has been asked before: Weird screen starting Windows from dual-boot setup

I tried setting nomodeset in grub following these instructions: How do I set 'nomodeset' after I've already installed Ubuntu?

But I can still see it... Is there another way to make this go away?

I don't know if it helps, these are the contents of etc/default/grub:

# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
#   info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

# Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs
# This works with Linux (no patch required) and with any kernel that obtains
# the memory map information from GRUB (GNU Mach, kernel of FreeBSD ...)
#GRUB_BADRAM="0x01234567,0xfefefefe,0x89abcdef,0xefefefef"

# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console

# The resolution used on graphical terminal

#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480

# Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true

# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
#GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"

# Uncomment to get a beep at grub start
#GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"

  • Did you update your /etc/default/grub file with nomodeset and then run sudo update-grub afterwards? – WinEunuuchs2Unix Nov 27 '16 at 17:27
  • Yes, I already did, it didn't work... – jenny Nov 27 '16 at 17:29
  • sorry that's my only thought. I don't dual boot anymore and when I used to I never had that problem. Can you edit your question to include your computer make and model? It might help others solve your problem quickly. – WinEunuuchs2Unix Nov 27 '16 at 17:30
