I have a desktop running a Geforce GT 1030 and I'm trying to make Ubuntu work on it.

To install, I had to edit the grub launcher to add nomodeset, after which the installation concluded smoothly. However, I still have to add nomodeset every time during boot to get it to work.

I tried purging nvidia drivers and installing the most recent version (384, I think) and it only made things worse (got stuck during boot and adding nomodeset changed nothing). So I formatted and did a clean install.

What to do to make this work?

Extra info: The monitor is plugged to the mobo, not to the card.

    Disable Secure Boot in BIOS. Everything else is correct. But it is unclear wy monitor is not connected to the card.

  • Gpu has DVI-D + HDMI. Monitor has VGA + DVI-D, but only came with a VGA cable, so I was plugging it directly on the mobo VGA port while my DVI-D cable arrives.

Make it permanent:

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Change:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

To:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset quiet splash"

sudo update-grub
