I am only able to start linux from the grub menu by adding "nomodeset" after the quiet spash and blacklisting the nouveau card.
However, this means that Cinnamon 19 keeps immediately crashing so I am having to run everything in mode.
The results of the terminal command: inxi -G
Graphics: Card-1: Intel UHD Graphics 620
Card-2: NVIDIA Device 1d12
Display Server: x11 (X.Org 1.19.6 )
drivers: nvidia,fbdev,nouveau (unloaded: modesetting,vesa)
Resolution: 1920x1080@77.00hz
OpenGL: renderer: N/A version: N/A
If anyone has had this problem please help!

Re: Cinnamon keeps crashing, using fallback mode
This line from the inxi output is one of those confusing lines sometimes seen, so the actual video driver that is loading can’t be determined:
Then open Driver Manager and install the recommended Nvidia driver.
If you have already done that, then use these commands and post the output:
The output from the last command will be long, so after copying it, open the Mint Forum reply window and select
Open the Terminal and use this command to install nvidia-prime:drivers: nvidia,fbdev,nouveau (unloaded: modesetting,vesa)
sudo apt install nvidia-primeThen open Driver Manager and install the recommended Nvidia driver.
If you have already done that, then use these commands and post the output:
Code: Select all
inxi -SMC
dpkg -l |grep -i nvidia
ls /etc/modprobe.d
lspci -nnk |egrep -A3 -i "3D|VGA"
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |egrep -i "nvidia|fbdev|modeset|nouveau"</> at the top. Press Ctrl+V to paste the copied lines into a code display window.-

Re: Cinnamon keeps crashing, using fallback mode
Right mate if you can offer any help that would be amazing, would be a shame to not be able to use linux on this machine.

Re: Cinnamon keeps crashing, using fallback mode
You previously installed bumblebee. Use this command to remove it:
Also, the kernel parameter nomodeset is being used. Remove that from the grub file and then update grub. Sometimes that parameter is needed to boot with the Nvidia driver.
