I tried editing in GRUB and changing quiet splash to nomodeset, and all it did was turn the black screen purple. I'm not sure what to do. I was trying to install dependencies for ibus for a Tibetan keyboard. Then I tried to restart and the black screen began.

I installed the dependencies listed here: https://www.christian-steinert.de/home/tibetan-computing/typing-tibetan-on-windows-and-linux

  • Can you login-in in the black/purple screen? do you see a login prompt where you can enter your username and password?

  • @Raffa Nope, it's only a black screen. I can click ctrl-alt-del and be brought back to the GRUB menu though. That's about it.

    @Raffa Okay so I did everything in the first link. After rebooting, I started Ubuntu and got a prompt for my username and password on black screen.

    @Raffa Actually, putting in the command sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop worked for me. Sorry I misread your comment. After doing what's in the first link you commented and running that command, I am now able to fully boot into Ubuntu.
