Installing LL 3.2

[bitsnpcs]

I have edited the grub, as you described, by finding the correct line and adding nomodeset, then doing ctrl x.

It boots to the desktop, I installed updates, which included kernel update, the update results log said to do sudo apt autoremove to remove efibootmgr libefivar0 as they are no longer used. I've done that.

On reboot it doesn't load desktop, tried several times.
I have to edit the grub again each time to get to the desktop.
There is no driver for graphics available in install drivers to change the resolution which is is 640x480.

I will have to accept defeat on this one, it is all way beyond my level of user, I have tried very much to follow the help and instructions everyone has given me, I am thankful for the help.

Hi bitsnpcs,

You're almost there! Now you know the change that's necessary in GRUB for your machine to boot.
But so far you only edited GRUB temporarily, i.e. for that one time before booting the OS.
The last step is now to make these changes permanent in your GRUB configuration.

So you would have to boot up your system another time with the help of the temporary GRUB change.
Then open a terminal and perform the following steps:

Code:

sudo leafpad /etc/default/grub

There you need to apply the changes you figured out are working.
Be careful when editing this file!
After saving the changes you need to run:

Code:

sudo update-grub

Then reboot ... and keep your fingers crossed

Hope that helps

Hello LL-user,

thank you for helping me  I was just in the 5th ubuntu install in 3 days.
The changes you showed me worked well and LL reboots to desktop now.

It displays a lot of texts on shutdown and start up, can this be prevented or it remains because of the command added ?

Hi bitsnpcs,

Great you got it working!

I assume you not only added the command but also removed "quiet splash", didn't you?
If you leave these in, then you should have a quiet(!) startup

Hope that helps

Hello LL-user,

yes it has helped me a lot 
I had removed quiet splash like on the usb edit, and added nomodeset between "".
I have added them back in now and you are right it is a quiet startup up and close down now
