I promise that I've tried to find the answer for days and days. I've come accross of dozens and dozens of indications, explanations, opinions and so on. And... nothing. I am tired of rebooting my notebook.

MSI PE60 6QE Nvidia GTX 960M Fresh installation

Well-known error while trying to install

Try to set nomodeset but There Is No nomodeset in my Ubuntu DVD.

Help will be sincerely appreciated.

I've forgot to say that I am absolutely new to Linux. New. Never tried it. I am tired of Windows but if installing Ubuntu is so complicated I think I will offer my notebook and forget just about everything. Back to the pencil and the paper.

There is no need for being frustrated.
Boot from Ubuntu installation media.

Highlight Try Ubuntu without installing and press the E key.
Add nouveau.modeset=0 to the end of the linux line.
Press the F10 key to boot into the Ubuntu Live desktop.

Click on Install Ubuntu and start the system installation.
When finished, reboot into the installed Ubuntu system.

Highlight the Ubuntu menu entry and press the E key.
Add nouveau.modeset=0 to the end of the linux line.
Press the F10 key to boot into the Ubuntu system.

First of all install the NVIDIA drivers and reboot the system.
Now you don't have to add nouveau.modeset=0 anymore ...

  • Thnks for your answer but it hasn't work maybe because I am not writting the command where I should.

  • Thnks for your answer but it hasn't work maybe because I am not writting the command where I should. I've placed it at the end of the Linux line: ...quiet splash -- nouveau.modeset=0, didn't work; then at the end of the Linux line: ...quiet splash nouveau.modeset=0 --, didn't work; and finally between Linux and the third and last line, didn't work. Still the same error.

  • @user513831 : You have to write it without "--" ! Please try again and in case it still does not work, use the parameter nomodeset instead of nouveau.modeset=0 - and important : put a space before the parameter.

  • I haven't used any quotes. My doubt was about where in the line should I place the parameter assuming that the Linux line finishes like this: ...quiet splash --

  • As I told you in my first comment I've already tried all those three combinations. I've just tried with nomodeset and as I say in my first post,doesn't work neither. Thank you very much for time anyway.
