Black Screen After Boot – On a Macbook White 2010 / GeForce 320M After Updated to Nvidia 340 Drivers — Running Hera

elementary OS Asked by Leandro Rossa on August 28, 2021

Tried to give some new life to my old Macbook White Mid 2010 with Elementary:

1st First install

  • rEFInd is installed
  • Elementary Live version runs fine
  • Once installed and system updated (apart from video driver), Elementary will eventually, (after around 10-15 mins, freezes the UI, but still move the cursor. Some time it unfreezes itself, throwing me to the login screen again.

I researched and found that it could be related to video drivers. Ended up installing something related to ppa on the Terminal. Not sure. I am not this kind of user. It didn’t work and I ended with a black screen after the Elementary "E" symbol is gone after boot.

2nd Install

So I did a fresh install. Updated everything, got a freeze again. Later with the laptop on, it unfroze, and the the updater shown a nvidia-340 driver. I installed on it. As well as another kernel-something driver.

Now I got a black screen again and I have no idea on what to do. Can’t boot press CTRL+Alt+F1 to access the command line.

I read about something of nomodeset on GRUB, but I don’t know how to access it. Pressing repeatedly the E key on keyboard before Elemtary logo shows up won’t do nothing.

Stack Exchange suggested this as I wrote the title, but I can’t access the tty, as nothing is displayed after the "E" logo disappears.
