This is personal note regarding installing ElementaryOS from USB which lead to Black Screen during installation which later after installation booted into a Blank desktop enviroment without any icons or taskbar.
- Create USB Linux install using YUMI – Multiboot USB Creator - [LINK]
- Boot up via USB
- At Elementary OS menu, select TAB to edit the command line. remove "quiet" and replace with "nomodeset"
- Proceed with normal installation
- After installation, boot into Elementary OS and press CTRL+ALT+F1
- Login using the credential created during installation
# cp /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.bak
# nano /etc/default/grub - Add “nomodeset” to GRUBCMDLINELINUX_DEFAULT so it looks like this:
GRUBDEFAULT=0
GRUBHIDDENTIMEOUT=0
GRUBHIDDENTIMEOUTQUIET=true
GRUBTIMEOUT=5
GRUBDISTRIBUTOR=lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian
GRUBCMDLINELINUXDEFAULT=“quiet splash nomodeset”
GRUBCMDLINE_LINUX=”“ - Save by hitting Ctrl-O, then exit nano with Ctrl-X.
- # sudo update-grub
- reboot into the Elementary OS
