![]() To disable the ‘read only’ status you need to go to terminal….Accessories – Terminal. try to save the change…you can’t !!…a notice tells you that the file is ‘read only’. Open folders: etc – default – grub, and look at the text of the grub file, there should be a line ending in ‘quiet splash’, leave a space and type ‘i915.modeset=1’ …. 10.04 should then complete booting, and start to install.ģ.When installation is complete, go to Places – Computer – File System. You are left with one line ending in ‘quiet splash’ – press backspace to remove the two trailing dashes, leave a space, and then type ‘i915.modeset=1’ ( – or your particular graphics code) then press Enter. – select your language and press Enter.Ģ.Tap the Down key to select “Install Ubuntu”, then press F6 – a small window opens in the right-hand corner, with half a dozen options – you don’t need these – click Escape to remove the box. I then downloaded Ubuntu 10.04 on my other desktop computer and burnt it to CD, and tried installation from this CD.ġ.Tap the Shift key down a few times during the booting sequence, if you’re lucky you will get into the install screen – giving you the installation options. My efforts to try and resolve the update problem led me to a Ubuntu ‘Workaround ‘ page Out of frustration, I eventually re-installed my CD copy of 9.10. I upgraded on line from 9.10 to 10.04 on my HP Compaq Presario laptop (- with inbuilt Intel graphics chip) and then pressed to restart…and ended up with a blank screen. My recent efforts at successfully resolving a ‘blank screen’ issue after 10.04 upgrade may be useful. Good luck!

If you have any additional suggestions, please leave them as comments here. UPDATE: Based on a lot of user feedback I am reminded that you need to run ‘update-grub’ after you make changes. Save your changes and you should get proper graphics on each reboot. GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash i915.modeset=1″ Replace with: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash ”įor example, if I had an older Intel model, my GRUB configuration would read:.Find this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash”.You will need Admin privileges to do so (sudo) You’ll want to change these settings in GRUB so they’ll automatically be applied on each reboot. Keep reading now to make these changes persistent! Hopefully one of these options will get you up and running. Older Intel video card: i915.modeset=1 or i915.modeset=0.The suggested options that I have found are hardware specific. Using the arrow keys to navigate, delete quiet and splash and again insert one of the options below.On first boot after install, press e to edit the GRUB menu.At the install screen press ‘ F6‘ and insert one of the options below, depending on your hardware.Your mileage may vary, depending on your video card, but hopefully this steers you in the right direction: This section outlines how to workaround the video issue while booting from the CD. This post outlines a workaround you can try in order to get your video working properly again. Also in the mix are some older Intel cards. It seems there are some incompatibilities with some video drivers, particularly (not surprising) some ATI and nVidia. ![]() ![]() Hopefully, that gets radeon (or vesa) to stop complaining about it and move on to actually starting up X.There have been a number of reports regarding blank screens at startup pre and post installation on the new Ubuntu 10.04 “Lucid” release. Since a Mac doesn't have a BIOS, you need to a create a fake one and tell GRUB to load it at boot time ("loadbios" directive in the GRUB config). As the document mentions, this may be necessary for X drivers that are coded to read the BIOS for system information. If it is correct, then you may need to use the "dd" commands mentioned to create BIOS image files. Here's more info on that: … KMS_issuesĪnyway, I found this documentation helpful: … ding_Linux More importantly, I don't think it matters. I'm not sure if that would work or not (probably wouldn't). I believe you can unload and then load the radeon module after boot and give it "modeset=1" to turn it on again. I found this thread while trying to solve a similar problem getting Ubuntu 12.04 to work on a MacMini 5,1 (Mid 2011) system.Īdding "nomodeset" (or equivalent) is necessary to avoid the use of KMS, which is only a problem for boot. ![]()
