Hello Peter,
When you wrote this mail to me, did you think of PC or PPC or both?
I think too, that it should often work in text mode, but there are
problems with systemd, that it works with either graphics mode or text
mode. I found this link:
http://ask.xmodulo.com/boot-into-command-line-ubuntu-debian.html
----------------------------------------------------------------
The boot option 'text' does not work for me in newer systems.
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Look for a line that starts with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT,
and comment out that line by prepending # sign.
This will disable the initial splash screen, and enable verbose
mode(i.e., showing the detailed booting procedure).
Then change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" to:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="text"
Next, uncomment the line that says "#GRUB_TERMINAL=console".
Save and update-grub
-o-
For systemd-enabled desktop only: If your desktop uses systemd
(e.g., for Debian 8 or later or Ubuntu 15.04 or later), there is
one additional step needed. That is to change the default target
from "graphical" target to "multi-user" target. Skip this step
if your desktop does not use systemd.
$ sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target
You can always revert to desktop boot later by restoring GRUB config
file and running:
$ sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target
At this point, your desktop should boot into the command line when you
reboot it.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Best regards

Hello Nio,
Pres Escape key several times util GNU GRUB table will be shown. If that
grub black and white table will be visible, you can install missing
device driver in text mode. Yust confirm as video driver for old Intel
graphic cards looks reanimated:

Hello Fritz,
According to your deleted email, each of this email have appended
signature of this mailing list. So, simply click on link which is on
line 'Modify settings or unsubscribe at', locate second link
'Lubuntu-users Archives' and click on it. You will see simple table.
Click on March 2016, view by date and fourth email sent by me will have
that parameters which can enable hibernation and correct initialization
of video adapter in Apple PPC machines. Once done, and you want to fix
that, come to me and confirm if you are booting computer using your
favorite grub or yaboot which is standard on PPC architecture. But you
will need to provide also output of some commands which I had not seen
from you even you was asked several times. Do you ever have Linux?
Peter.

My 999 megahertz machine has been booting to a black screen since
Lubuntu 15.10, and it still happened with 16.04. So I assumed that
machine can no longer be used. Even the latest 14.04 now boots to a
black screen on it.
How can one install a package when the live system boots to a black
screen?
There is no console mode visible, and no wireless yet (because the
passphrase has yet to be entered, and cannot be entered).

@Aere:
Possibly there is no correlation, but I have Lubuntu 16.04 running very
nicely on my PPC G4 iBook 933 MHz w/646 MB RAM . . . circa '04ish.
Probably I needed to use some "boot params" to get the radeon card
"recognized" . . . but, in PPC we are "used" to needing some "words"
with the Yaboot second screen . . . . You should be able to get Lubuntu
16 going??? You just need some magic words to mumble over it . . .
different words are needed for different video cards, etc.
