Hi guys,

I was having trouble installing Ubuntu because every time I tried installing it the part after the logo would turn into green gibberish on my screen. I managed to get it installed by using the nomodeset option.

Now I've got it installed and the GRUB bootloader is working just as it should. When I select Ubuntu to boot I get the same greenish gibberish when it tries to load the graphics system.

Is there a way to manually pass some options or parameters at GRUB so that I can get into the config files to make it boot successfully automatically?

Also, what sorts of changes would I have to make?

It's 10.04.1 Lucid LiveCD that I installed from.


EDIT: Replaced video card.
