When do you press the e key during boot, and do you type anything after pressing the E key.

yes sometimes i have to write nouveau.modeset=o but if i repeatedly press the key E then it boots up properly otherwise it justs writes qrub repeatedly

edit your /etc/default/grub to make this line like this

Code:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nouveau.modeset=0"

to edit the /etc/default/grub

Code:

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

then run

Code:

sudo update-grub

reboot and see if that works

sorry i am new to linux,.U mean to say i have to write all the three lines in terminal..?

yes
This will open a text editor to edit a grub configuration file. that has to be edited

Code:

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

command keys will be displayed at bottom of text window
add your option to this line like this

Code:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nouveau.modeset=0 "

ctrl-x to exit, it will ask do you want to save

Code:

sudo update-grub

This will update the grub boot loader menu so you won't have to press e to input the boot option

At the grub> see it this will give you the grub menu

Code:

grub> configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg
