nomodeset🔗
Some Xorg video drivers require a kernel feature known as nomodeset. If you learn that this is the case for your box, you can set this feature up as follows.
(a) Edit the /etc/default/grub
(b) Look for a line similar to the following
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash resume=...”
© Insert the word nomodeset before the word quiet. Put a space between the two words. Save and exit.
(d) Execute the command update-grub.
