<SOLVED>Black screen after nvidia install.
I am able to install Mint 20.1 using the nomodeset command initially.
I then install the NVIDIA driver through the "driver manager" but after it says "restart to apply changes", I just get a blank screen. This is with and without the nomodeset.

EDITED: 6-25-21
I suggest not reading the posts in this topic because I made some errors in my posts. Go to my last post to read the solution.
When you get the blank screen, press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to enter virtual console tty1. Use these commands and post the output: ls /lib/modprobe.d/ and mokutil --sb-state
If you can't enter tty1, then select Advanced options > Recovery Mode at the GRUB boot menu. If no menu shows, then hold down the Shift key while starting. In the menu, select "root - drop to root shell prompt " and press ENTER. Press ENTER again. Use the same command above for tty1.

I am about to that as I type this.
If I install the driver through the terminal, towards the end of the install it says this:
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms:

...done.

I wasn't able to get into the virtual console tty1
If I went into recovery mode i just got the same screen
Holding down shift didn't make any difference either

I don't understand what you mean. Are you able to see the the grub boot menu and then select Recovery Mode?
If not, then press and hold the Shift or Esc key at startup or as the BIOS info is loading or right after. Or press the Esc key once after the BIOS info is displayed.

After selecting Recovery Mode, you should see a menu and one of the options is:
root - drop to root shell prompt. After selecting that, press Enter. Then press Enter again.
Then use these commands and copy the output: ls /lib/modprobe.d/ and mokutil --sb-state

Do you see the GNU GRUB boot menu? If not, then keep tapping the Shift key rapidly during startup. Then select Advanced options for Linux Mint 20.1 and then Recovery Mode.

Sorry for climbing this thread...
Same problem here, not only with mint 19.3, but also with older versions, and also Lubuntu attempts.
ls /lib/modprobe.d shows aliases.conf, systemd.conf, fbdev-blacklist.conf, and blacklist-linux-hwe-5.0.0-32-generic.conf.
mokutils --sb-state says "EFI variables are not supported on this system"
lsmod shows nouveau is loaded.
Live-Stick runs perfectly...

Sorry for the delayed response
The first command outputs
Code: Select all
aliases.conf nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf blacklist_linux_5.4.0-58-generic.conf systemd.conf fbdev-blacklist.conf The second command outputs
SecureBoot disabled
I was only able to get past the black screen in recovery mode by spamming escape a few times after entering recovery mode

Enter Recovery mode. In the menu, select network - Enable networking. Then select
root - drop to root shell prompt and press ENTER. Press ENTER again.
Use these commands to upload some more info:
Code: Select all
nvidia-bug-report.sh gunzip nvidia-bug-report.log.gz && cat nvidia-bug-report.log | nc termbin.com 9999 Copy the url address and post it.
Use this command: dpkg -l | grep nvidia | nc termbin.com 9999
Copy the url address and post it.

You did not post the url address after using these two commands to create and upload the bug report:

That info was already uploaded to termbin.com when you used this command in Recovery mode:
Code: Select all
dpkg -l | grep nvidia | nc termbin.com 9999 Enter Recovery mode again and use these two commands. You will have to wait a short time after using the first command, for the bug report to be created:
Code: Select all
nvidia-bug-report.sh gunzip nvidia-bug-report.log.gz && cat nvidia-bug-report.log | nc termbin.com 9999 Then there will be another url address displayed. Copy it and post it.

Go into Recovery mode. Be sure to Enable Networking in the menu. Use this command: ls
Do you see this file listed: nvidia-bug-report.log.gz
If you don't, then use this command: nvidia-bug-report.sh
Then use this command: gunzip nvidia-bug-report.log.gz && cat nvidia-bug-report.log | nc termbin.com 9999
You should see a url address. Copy it and post it.
If the file nvidia-bug-report.log.gz already exists, then only use this command:
gunzip nvidia-bug-report.log.gz && cat nvidia-bug-report.log | nc termbin.com 9999

I think something may be going wrong somewhere.
What am I meant to see in the recovery mode, all I am getting is my usual interface (as I would if everything is working normally, networking is already on), but to get this I get a blank screen which I can only get past by pressing a few different keys.
I have noticed if I tried the installation and set up auto login, I can hear the usual signing in noise but again the screen is black.
