Black screen after boot












0














After I choose Lubuntu on my Grub nothing happens. The screen turns black, the keyboard lights up like it may be doing something, but over time nothing happens.



This started happening after I closed my laptop and opened it up again. Now Lubuntu will not boot at all.

          This is likely because of something known as framebuffer. In order to disable it try adding the kernel parameters i915.modeset=1 or i915.modeset=0. In order to do this you'll need to restart computer, then press Shift to enter the grub menu, and when Ubuntu is highlighted press e. After seeing the line which has something like linux_gfxmode or something like that add one of those parameter to the line. Once you've done that press Ctrl+X.

            my mobo is Intel D2500HN which has only 1 VGA port and no LVDS-1

            make sure that both your "/lib/firmware/i915/" and "/lib/modules/'uname -r'/" are populated with files
            I lost mine due to "apt autoremove"



            ~$ sudo apt install --reinstall linux-modules-'uname -r' linux-modules-extra-'uname -r'



            After

            video=LVDS-1:d is disabling LVDS-1 port which some kernel version might be directing the video to that port on default despite your mobo might not have such a port available to you

                          my mobo is Intel D2500HN which has only 1 VGA port and no LVDS-1
                          my distro: lubuntu 18.04

                          First to make sure your firmwares and module libraries are intact for i915



                          ~$ modinfo i915
                          modinfo: ERROR: Module i915 not found.



                          ======solutions=====
                          make sure that both your "/lib/firmware/i915/" and "/lib/modules/'uname -r'/" are populated with files
                          I lost mine due to "apt autoremove"



                          ~$ sudo apt install --reinstall linux-modules-'uname -r' linux-modules-extra-'uname -r'



                          After
