I recently got an MSI GS63VR 7RG with GTX 1070 (Max-Q). It came preinstalled with Windows 10. When I tried to install Ubuntu 17.10 alongside Windows from a USB drive, it went to blackscreen showing some nouveau error. I tried disabling the card from BIOS but I couldn't find any option. Is there any way I can install Ubuntu on my system (without screwing my Windows installation up)? I am stuck on this for the last 4 days! Any help will be much appreciated!

Edit: It is different from the Install Nvidia driver instead of nouveau fix since I do not get to go to the shell itself, let alone blacklisting some driver.

I fixed it by adding nouveau.modeset=0 in the grub (by pressing e and appending the same after "..quiet no splash..".

Thank you all!

  • Hi, I had checked the solution there. Unfortunately, it does not apply for me. I do not have any preinstalled Ubuntu, I am trying to install ubuntu alongside windows from flash drive without any way to install required driver packages during the installation (since it gives me a black-screen).

  • Still seems like the correct answer to me because you're getting a nouveau error. Your dual-boot is irrelevant. In grub, select a recovery console so you avoid the black screen.
