That did not work - black screen

Hi janusz,

Could we have some specs of the machine please? Especially the Graphics Card/chipset. Make and model of machine would also help whether Desktop or Notebook (I refuse to use the misnomer of 'laptop' as it engenders improper use of such devices.)

2011 Macbook Pro with intel and Radeon graphic. I believe that Radeon byte the dust. Kubuntu boot from usb in safe graphic mode. Should be able to edit Zorin for safe graphic mode or do I have to reinstall. I hate to do it, but if that is the only way.

#17

How did you install Zorin? Balena Etcher?

I did create an install guide for Mac courtesy of a Magazine article here:

Also see here:

#18

Yes. Rufus would not make it

#19

I isntalled about 3 weeks ago and was working fine. I did some customizatio, added vmware with win10 in it. All was working great untill today.

#20

I have Zurin Pro and Zorin lite, none of them give to me kernel option at boot. All other dis6tros do give to me that option

#21

Is that Zorin Pro and Lite version 16 or 15.3?

#22

Both 16

#23

Out of curiosity I would like you to try creating an Etcher USB of 15.3 core and see how that fairs as it is an earlier kernel. I am wondering if it is an HWE (Hardware Kernel) issue if present as such kernels cater for modern hardware and clearly 2011 is not current hardware.

isos are here:

Also the fact that you have Pro I would register a ticket with Zorin team for their assistance:

That will take me few hours as I have slow wifi(max 200kbs)

#25

Lodge a Support ticket - I updated my last post for the link since your last post.

#26

Just did

#27

Bear in mind we are in the holiday season you might have to wait a while.

#28

With all good wishes for 2022!

I had no option but to wipe hdd clean and attempt to reinstall. Unfortunately, I was able to boot from usb and install, but after reboot, the Zorin will not boot. Just hung at black screen for 5min. I was testing other distros, but the only one that work is the Parrot. The only way for me to install Zorin is to unpack the file and remove drivers for amd,ati and radeon and then repack and install.

#32

Well, got it working (Pro Lite).
