![]() So, install in safe graphics mode, then reboot. If you get a blank screen by installing it without using 'safe graphics mode', then odds are your drivers aren't doing their job. ![]() I figured I would also do a small write up step by step, as this seems to be common with earlier Macbooks that have a dedicated GPU. This may not be exactly your solution, but it's a really good place to start. If you need to use nomodeset to boot, then you are most likely having a graphics driver fault somewhere. I have searched a many for this solution. To anyone that ends up reading this with your Macbook, this is probably your solution. So I set it to intel.modeset=0, to boot default with the intel GPU and it works really nicely, and I'm seeing a very optimistic battery life! Then finally, to use my dedicated GPU, I use the DRI_PRIME=1 command on the software I would like to use. Doing radeon.modeset=0 would cause the screen to go blank. I had to use the 'nomodeset' command in my grub to launch my OS in order to not get the blank screen. Default is intel, and it automatically uses the dedicated one when needed (so far!) And if it does not work, there is now an option in the applications menu when you right click an app > it will say "Launch using dedicated graphics card". Last update: Ubuntu 20.04 fixed everything.
