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=""
