Fix Linux Black Screen: Boot Troubleshooting Guide

If Linux is stuck on a black screen and unable to enter the system, it may be due to some system issues. You can try the following solutions:

  1. Reboot the system: Try pressing the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys together to restart the system and see if you can get back into it.
  2. Access recovery mode: Press the Shift key (or the Esc key on some systems) during boot to enter the Grub boot menu, select recovery mode to enter the system, and attempt to fix any possible issues.
  3. Check hardware connections: Make sure the power cable, monitor cable, and other hardware devices are properly connected, as loose connections can sometimes cause a black screen.
  4. Check the log files: If you can enter recovery mode, you can examine system log files (such as /var/log/syslog, /var/log/messages, etc.) to search for potential error messages in order to find a solution.
  5. Use a Live CD for repair: If the above methods are not able to solve the problem, you can try using a Live CD to boot the system, then mount the system partition and perform repair operations.

If none of the solutions above work, it is recommended to contact a Linux system administrator or seek help from the Linux community.
