Hi!
I am working on a Macbook Pro but use Ubuntu for hosting my web applications. So the IT department dropped an old Core 2 Due Intel Dell box. So I downloaded the newly released Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server ISO and used unetbootin to create a bootable usb drive. I am able to see the BIOS, then the loading ubnkern/ubninit.... and then just a blank screen, screen is on but get completely blank black screen. So I check the md5 sum of the image (is correct) and then use dd to create the ubuntu 16.04 bootable usb drive thinking it is unetbootin that is causing the black screen. Same result. Black screen.
So I ran into this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen
These workaround are not really actionable for me, e.g. set gfxpayload=text, without any reference where to set that. I suspect I would have to make those changes within the ISO image before turning forging a bootable ubuntu usb drive from it? Could someone give me an idea of how I would implement those workarounds and create a bootable ubuntu usb drive that doesn't boot into a completely blank screen?
