Dual boot grub boot not displaying
 

I installed dual boot for window 7 and Ubuntu 14.04.4 with my onboard VGA years back. Recently, i bought a NVIDIA card GTX Titan X. Successfully, i install the NVIDIA Graphic driver 375.2 through using onboard VGA.
when i use graphic card to display, the grub boot menu is not displaying out( blank screen) and boots into Ubuntu like it always does. I change back to Onboard VGA(My graphic card still seats on MotherBoard) the Grub boot menu, display out.

• Using On board VGA, able to see grub boot menu
• Use Graphic card unable to see grub menu

i try removing 'quite splash' and add in 'nomodeset' it still the same results.

please help me, i need to see the grub menu to boot into Windows.

Hi:

Since the onboard GPU displays the Grub Menu but under your new GPU Grub does not show, I suspect that the Nvidia driver needs tweaked? Sorry I'm not good with manipulating drivers.

Quite splash and nomodeset are the only paramaters that I know of to pass to the kernel so I'm out of ideas. Maybe other members will see your thread and chime in.

Another idea would be installing Grub Customizer. That may or may not help.

Try installing a background image for your Grub Menu.

Thanks for your reply.

Its not onboard GPU display. its just a normal VGA Port display.
I have try different driver version of 361.5, 370.2, 375.2.
All are the same issue.

Hi,

Can you please try something:

- Switch back to the original kernel's driver "nouveau", i.e. uninstall the proprietary driver.
- in the grub.cfg change line where there is "quiet splash" to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nouveau.modeset=1"
- and remove any occurence of "nomodeset" anywhere.
- finally update the configs: sudo update-grub

All the best.

Hi
thanks for your reply.
I want to use my GPU card for my graphic display.
Uninstalling the GPU Proprietary drivers, it does not display anything through the GPU card and display a error of i8042 no controller found. it just stuck there

You might want to try aragorn2101 fix in post #4 and let us know if that allows the GNU Grub Menu to be displayed so you can see it.

Is the casing with the pins that is attached to your GPU showing out of the back of your pc's tower so you can run a direct cable from your GPU to your monitor?

What distribution are you running?

Hi, thanks for your suggestion.
I'm using ubuntu 14.04
The Nvidia card display i8042 no controller found and stay it there.

Did you edit the grub.cfg file with the argument aragorn2101 wrote for you?

Look on your system for additional drivers and see what's in there.

Does your BIOS see the new nvidia card?
