Re: Forcing new install to boot to compatibility mode

Post by Laurent85 » Wed Oct 28, 2015 9:34 pm
Upon grub loader menu edit parameters options and append either "modprobe.blacklist=nouveau", either "nouveau.noaccel=1" to the line ending with "quiet splash $vt_handoff".
Or just append "nomodeset".

#

i found this on mint forums

celest verge May 22, 2024, 3:55 PM

New install?

@celest verge Try using GRUB to remove the splash screen and add nomodeset

celest verge May 22, 2024, 6:52 PM

#

Remove the splash screen?

unborn dew May 22, 2024, 7:56 PM

#

celest verge Remove the splash screen?

I think he meant to add the nosplash and nomodeset comment when you do the grub custom bootup edit with the e key

celest verge May 22, 2024, 9:16 PM

#

Booted from Live Bootable, same original issue. Booted again but with Compatibility mode. Same issue. Boot editor added "nomodeset" and changed "splash" to "nosplash". List of numbers flashing as before

#

They aren't the same numbers tho
