I’m using the Cinnamon Edition ISO to install LM. And this happens. What could be the cause of it being stuck on the title screen? Nothing else has occurred with the install process.

#

I tried install again using a different usb port on the case, and choosing “compatibility mode”. It seems to be doing something.

#

it may be the TV is overscanning

#

you can type alt-F2 to bring up a run box, and type cinnamon-settings

#

to get to the "control panel" and find Displays and set lower res.

#

or use the tv remote to turn off overscan

Install process completed now through “compatibility mode”, but after reboot, blank screens on monitors. Compatibility mode didn’t utilize the TV.

Black screen boot issues:
Niko OP — 31/07/2024 18:18
I found a solution. For future people, you need to go into the recovery mode, click boot normally, then open the terminal and type sudo nano /etc/default/grub and edit the line "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" " to be GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset" (adding nomodeset) this fixes the error and lets you proceed to default loading.
. ctrl-o to save, plus enter.

#

forgot exactly how to get to recovery mode but u can hold shift or tap esc many times, 4 seconds after power on for a while

#

then hit e, then tag nomodeset to the quiet splash part there

#

then boot, then do the nano fix above

#

I hit escape many times. “Grub>” is showing. Is that where I need to be?

south crest Nov 4, 2024, 10:03 PM

#

yes

#

press e as it shows at bottom

#

#

dont use compatibility mode

#

make sure if u have a computer of the last 8 or 9 years, to do a uefi install not legacy mode

New custom build. 6 months ago

#

and that secure boot , bios fast boot, and windows fast startup is off (if windows present)

#

or try again to go into recovery mode

#

LOL. The first user input screen is on the TV.

#

#

After entering PW, the panel doesn’t show up.

#

it'll switch the login field to other screen if you move the mouse widely

#

set your res if u want

#

then see driver manager

void grove Nov 4, 2024, 10:26 PM

#

I can’t even bring up a terminal, with keyboard.

south crest Nov 4, 2024, 10:26 PM

#

ctrl alt t?

#

unplug external screen

If I disable secure boot, will it boot when it is enabled again?

south crest Nov 4, 2024, 10:45 PM

#

not if u have nvidia card or any hardware needing proprietary auxilliary kernel drivers

void grove Nov 4, 2024, 10:49 PM

#

I’m going to try XFCE to see if there’s any difference

void grove Nov 4, 2024, 11:11 PM

#

south crest not if u have nvidia card or any hardware needing proprietary auxilliary kernel ...

So since there’s an nVidia card installed, and there’s no proprietary drivers? What about nouveau?

south crest Nov 4, 2024, 11:12 PM

#

well it may work or not

void grove Nov 4, 2024, 11:13 PM

#

And it would be the same for installing Ubuntu LTS?

south crest Nov 4, 2024, 11:14 PM

#

same

#

u can try PopOS

#

get the nvidia-ready ISO

Disabling secure boot didn’t help

#

void grove Disabling secure boot didn’t help

well as long as u get to desktop, then driver manager, then apply reco'd nvidia driver.. then reboot and it should work

#

do the nomodeset via the grub 'e for edit' thing i discussed if needed to reach the desktop

#

or pop os, w/ nvidia support in live mode boot should totally work

void grove Nov 5, 2024, 1:35 AM

#

I installed PopOS

#

Thank you for your time
