-====== Boot - Fix Boot Problems ======
-The latest kernels have moved the video mode setting into the kernel. So all the programming of the hardware specific clock rates and registers on the video card happen in the kernel, rather than in the X driver when the X server starts.
-This makes it possible to have high-resolution nice looking splash (boot) screens, and flicker-free transitions from boot splash to login screen.
-Unfortunately, on some cards this doesn't work properly and you end up with a black screen. Other problems may be a big boot delay, sometimes coupled with a loss of the configured desktop wallpaper. In particular, some closed non-free Nvidia drivers appear to be affected.
-Edit **/etc/default/grub**.
-<file bash /etc/default/grub>
-GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
-</file>
-Replace it by this line:
-<file bash /etc/default/grub>
-GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset"
-</file>
-Save the modified configuration file and close it.
-Then run:
-<code bash>
-sudo update-grub
-</code>
-Finally, reboot.
