How to set nomodeset in Linux Lite? Plymouth not booting - OptiPlex - 11-04-2022

Hello Fellow Lite Users,

can you please write me a simple instructions how to permanently set nomodeset in Linux Lite?
Sometimes, when I start the computer I see the black screen. I have auto login enabled + nvidia card.
When I press CTRL + F2 I see: systemd waiting for process Plymouth.
What I do is I shut down the computer by holding the power button and start again until I get into the graphic environment.

UPDATE: adding two screenshots. there is an error message from systemd - problem appears randomly. during power on. nomodeset did not help.

I have seen that manual. is the editor gedit already available in Linux Lite? I remember that ubuntu used to have nano:

Open a terminal and type "sudo gedit /etc/default/grub"

Try:

Code:
sudo mousepad /etc/default/grub

This works. At least, on my computer. I have LL 6.2.

Good luck! Smile
