Hi, I recently found out that I have to boot into Ubuntu with nomodeset. There are guides detailing how to do this for grub. I have looked for one for rEFInd but all I found was this and it did not work. I tried to use rEFInd's boot option interface by clicking F2 twice and entering "nomodeset" but it did not work either. Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction? Thanks.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Adding nomodeset to /boot/refind_linux.confshould work. Please post that file here (or on a pastebin site) for verification that it's correct. Also, double-check that the option is being used by rEFInd by hitting F2 or Insert twice, rather than Enter, to launch your kernel. This will cause rEFInd to launch a line editor on your boot options. You can use this to verify that the nomodeset option is being picked up. If not, you may have edited refind_linux.conf in the wrong location. This can happen if you've copied your kernels from one directory to another, created a separate /boot partition after installing but forgot to delete the original /boot directory, or for other reasons.
Note that the preceding assumes you're launching your kernels directly. If you're actually launching GRUB or some other boot loader from rEFInd, you must instead configure that boot loader to add the nomodeset parameter.
