black screen nouveau nvidia install distros
hello, there are certain distributions that I can not install, especially the current ones. Is it possible to disable nouveau just before installation and continue at low resolution until the Nvidia drivers are installed?

Re: black screen nouveau nvidia install distros
You can try this:
Boot from a Mint 18.3 Live CD or Live USB
When "Automatic boot in n seconds" appears on screen, press a key
Press [Tab] to edit options
After "quiet splash" add "modprobe.blacklist=nouveau"
Press Enter to start LM
Now you're in software rendering mode and nouveau driver it's not loaded, you can test it in terminal mode typing "lsmod | grep nouveau". It should return no results
Install LM from the installer on the desktop
If you need to disable nouveau driver again after the installation, modify file /etc/default/grub and set GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to "quiet splash modprobe.blacklist=nouveau"
Hope it helps.

in my case (installing linux mint 18.2 cinnamon on a laptop with nvidia GeForce 840M), this helped: https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/842
nouveau.modeset=0 worked for me
