I am new to Ubuntu. I just installed Ubuntu on a new-built PC. It stayed on the black screen after booting. I entered GRU menu using ESC, and modified the 'quiet splash' to 'nomodeset' after reading this post. I was able to boot Ubuntu after changing to 'nomodeset'. But it doesn't seem to be a long term solution.

Before any change, this is what I received: enter image description here

Here some relevant information about the pc: 1. Nvidia 2080 Ti 2. ASUS TUF X570-WiFi motherboard

It seems to me that the problem is there is no Nvidia driver installed. I guess installing Nvidia driver will fix the problem but don't know if it is correct.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks a lot!
