I downloaded the newest XFCE, used Rufus to burn it to a usb, it booted to the usb fine, when it came up to options and i selected boot, the screen turns black and no longer accepts user input. ctrl alt f2, control c, nothing. I was wondering if it has anything to do with the graphics adapter, or the fact that i have technically 6 drives in my computer and 1 is a windows installation and 3 others are a raid 5 array, and iām trying to install to the last one. If thereās a way for me to attach images iāll do that later through trying to setup a vm to show where i get stuck.
Thanks in advance, also iām somewhat new to linux grub stuff, so please explain where iām supposed to put what, not just āOh go put a nomodeset kernal paramā. I have no idea what that is or where to put it.
Hello,
If this is correct from your user description: GPU: NVidia RTX 2070 Super
then you need to select nonfree
driver option, from the menu, before you boot. The default one is free
You could use this service and share the link:
I think it was actually my USB drive. I was using nonfree already because i remember linux and nvidia not getting along. after burning the ISO to three flashdrives, the third one worked. I have no idea why, but itās up so iām not gonna question it.
