How to fix a black screen after reinstalling Linux and rebooting?
If you encounter a black screen issue after rebooting following the completion of the installation on Linux, you can try the following troubleshooting methods:
- Check the graphics card driver: The black screen issue may be caused by incompatible or incorrectly installed graphics card drivers. You can try entering safe mode or recovery mode, then update or reinstall the graphics card driver in the terminal.
- Change the boot parameters: To fix the black screen issue, try modifying the boot parameters when booting up. Select the Linux system in the boot menu and press the “E” key, then add the “nomodeset” parameter in the kernel parameters. Press Ctrl+X to start the system and see if the black screen problem is resolved.
- Check the monitor connection: Make sure the monitor is properly connected and in normal working condition. Try reinserting the monitor cable or using a different monitor connection interface to rule out hardware issues.
- Check the file system: The black screen issue may be related to file system errors. You can try entering emergency mode or recovery mode, and running file system check commands like fsck or chkdsk in the terminal to fix the file system errors.
- Update or roll back the kernel: If the black screen issue occurs after updating the kernel, you can try rolling back to a previous kernel version or updating to the latest kernel version to solve the problem.
If the above methods fail to resolve the screen black issue, it is recommended to refer to the official forums or support documents of the Linux distribution, or consult with relevant technical support personnel for more detailed assistance.
