Setup: I am a relatively new linux user but I decided to dual boot my new laptop with windows 8.1 and ubuntu. I created a bootable USB using Pen Drive linux installer (http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows) (12.10) and put a clean install on a separate partition that I created on my main HDD. Now when I boot from Grub it just goes to a black screen.
Hardware: Lenovo Y410p - intel core i7 and an nvidia card. I don't really care about getting the nvidia card working, I've been focused on just getting integrated graphics going.
What I've tried: for the most part I have been using suggestions from this article (http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/842). So I have tried nomodeset
, i915.modeset=0
and various others. Most simply boot to a black screen. If I include nomodeset
and grub_gfxmode=1024x768x16
I get dropped to a command line, If I use the native resolution of the monitor I get a black screen. From the command line I took a look at my Xorg.0.log and a snippet is below, I can include the full version if you think it will help but this appears to be where it goes awry.
