I have just installed Ubuntu on my new machine - a Skylake build with an NVidia 900 series GPU. As such I have a problem in that Ubuntu (and the install USB stick I used) both boot to a black screen.
I could easily set the nomodeset flag for the USB stick installer to get that to work, but I can't do the same for booting the now installed Ubuntu as no matter when or how I press shift, Grub does not want to show up - instead I get a solid purple screen for a few seconds and then the screen goes black.
Are there any other ways of setting nomodeset, or any other suggestions for how to boot Ubuntu or get into Grub?
For extra information, I installed Ubuntu with the LVM option.
Edit: I have looked at other answers on here and elsewhere, but all assume you can eventually get into Grub as far as I could find.
Edit 2: the proposed question this is a duplicate of only proposes solutions which involve access to Grub (which I do not for unknown reasons), unless I am mistaken.
