I've got a fresh install of Lubuntu 16.04 with dual boot. It worked well the first few times I started it but it doesn t work anymore. I get a black screen after selecting the default choice in GRUB. However, if I launch recovery mode, and choose "resume" I get a low definition but otherwise perfect start. Reinstalling Lubuntu soon leads to the same problem, as I tried a few times. I believe some driver in it isn t appropriate or crashes. From a live USB stick, I get full resolution without any problem. Thinking it could be related to the display manager, I installed gdm3 and made it default but it doesn't work either. What should I do ? The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite with "AMD A6-3420M APU with Radeon HD graphics" EDIT : For some reason, launching with "resume" from recovery doesn't work anymore. I get the login prompt for tty1 on a blinking screen instead.

[If this doesn't work, I'll remove it]
If it does, then it'll be a dupe FYI.
At GRUB boot to recovery mode and drop to a root shell.
1) Mount the file system as R/W: mount -o remount,rw /
2) Next, run sudo nano /etc/default/grub
3) Then add nomodeset to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
Becomes:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
And then save by hitting Ctrl+O, then exit nano with Ctrl+X
4) Finally, run:
sudo update-grub
sudo reboot

I just did it. I don't get a black screen anymore but I get that screen instead. Any ideas ? http://i.stack.imgur.com/9HKgr.jpg looks like I can't embed images because my reputation is too low, here's a link – shadok Jun 26 '16 at 14:08

@shadok It hangs there? – You'reAGitForNotUsingGit Jun 27 '16 at 11:40

And have you installed any drivers for the GPU? – You'reAGitForNotUsingGit Jun 27 '16 at 11:40

It's stuck there. I didn't install any driver. – shadok Jun 28 '16 at 11:20
