If I over-explain things, I apologise, if I under-explain things, ask me to clarify things. The Linux kernel is the very core of Linux, it handles the hardware on behalf of the programs we want to run. GRUB is the "Grand Unified Bootloader" GRUB is a rather accomplished system to handle booting things - typically a Linux kernel or memtest86+. It can do many things and even has a built-in scripting language for flexibility. The manual can be found here:- https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/grub.html#Top With lubuntu, GRUB is used to load a Linux kernel. If you want to see the GRUB menu when booting your computer, switch it on and press both SHIFT keys down and you should see a menu. With at least these two options: * Ubuntu * Advanced Options for Ubuntu If you highlight the "Ubuntu" option and press 'e' you will see a GRUB script specific to that kernel. Most of that stuff can be ignored. The line beginning with the word linux is the interesting one - see https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/grub.html#linux for full details. Basically, you can edit that line to send information to the kernel or tell it to do something differently. For instance, I've been doing that recently to stop the arguments quiet and splash being passed to the kernel If you want to run a different kernel to the default on your system, select "Advanced Options for Ubuntu", you will get a list of available kernels you can run them as-is or you can highlight your preferred kernel and press 'e' if you want to change the parameters passed to the kernel. > Where do I insert the Line GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text? > Do I then Ctrl_x and go to terminal to do the sudo bit? > Or should I be editing a file from the terminal? > Eugene has already answered that :) HTH, Ian -- -- ACCU - Professionalism in programming - http://www.accu.org -- My writing - https://sites.google.com/site/ianbruntlett/ -- Free Software page - https://sites.google.com/site/ianbruntlett/home/free-software -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1724639 Title: Bug in Kernel 4.13 : Intel Mobile Graphics 945 shows 80 % black screen Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in openSUSE: Unknown Bug description: Installed O.S. on Samsung NC10.
