:-) OK, OK, I made a bit more progress. I found the following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 , which tells me to edit the grub options, I should hold down the shift key from the time I start the system until the time the grub command line appears. And I did this using the system installed on the hard drive which wouldn't go before.
So it did as pictured in that website, and I highlighted the first option on the list shown, and pressed the e key which took me to a screen to edit text or options for that item. After the "ro quiet splash" I added "i915.modeset=0", or in other words, after my addition, that part looked like "ro quiet splash i915.modeset=0" . Then, I pressed control x which booted the system.....and it worked. But, I must do this each time I start up the system. So how do I get this to be permanent? -- "Failed to restore crtc configuration: -22" on i915 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/404421 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
