When I start up the computer I see Error: no video mode activated After this, it goes to the Ubuntu startup page with the logo but after load shows me a list of services that have started and stays on that screen. I am getting very frustrated. Ubuntu left a message saying that 15.04 will no longer receive updates and I should switch, and this version is broken upon arrival. I can use the Ctrl+Alt+F1 command to put in commands but have no idea where to start. Please help. boot share|improve this question edited Feb 9 at 6:01 clearkimura 1,7871226 asked Feb 9 at 4:20 Ryan Creagh Potter Wall 11 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 0 down vote This seems to be a bug.

Chose mount point for each partition, and then select continue. The grub installer will be reinstalled correctly. Or Try to Commit: _GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_ and _GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET_ in /etc/default/grub will help on this: Then try to run 'sudo update-grub' after changes to /etc/default/grub.
