[SOLVED] Black screen after install

[Aravisian]

@carmar

And then once I have it all running, I power down, reinstall the 750Ti, and then boot up with it connected. Correct?

After a fresh reinstall and connecting up:
Install the drivers

sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

OR open Software and Updates and click the "additional drivers" tab.

@carmar

PS - The nomodeset option you mentioned in your first post didn’t allow me to boot this time. I’m guessing that its nixed because of the updates?

I would guess similar but I would only be guessing at this point. I am a bit confused, too. Even so, the ctrl+alt+F1 should have allowed text based input, so I am at a loss, too.

@carmar

A hammer would solve it because then my wife would leave me in a condition where I wouldn’t need to deal with this any longer.
