Black screen when Installing in graphical mode (dual booting)

[Oof]

Hi, I have been recently trying to install Kali Linux but when I press Install in graphical mode (From Advanced Options in Kali Boot Menu) it just appears as a black screen. I have taken a look at a person's thread who had the exact same problem: https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?42321-Problem-with-installing-Kali-Linux-(black-box-freeze) but the setting he changed didn't affect my laptop so I am not sure what I must do to stop it from giving me a black screen and proceed with my installation.

My laptop is an HP ProBook 440 G5 with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and i7 Processor.(From dxdiag) As display I have Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 and as Render I have NVIDIA GeForce 930MX.

Thanks for your help in advance.

That's Optimus and it's a pain on any Linux. May I suggest installing in text mode then dealing with the driver later on.

I have a new System76 Oryx Pro and I'm having the same problem. When I try to do a fresh install in Graphical or Text mode I get a black screen (see image below). In Text mode I get a complete black screen except for the small squiggly bit you can see at the top of this image. System76 Oryx Pro does have a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 installed, but I can disable it and run with a native graphic display run from the CPU. I have the same problem using both Nvidia or Intel hardware. Is there a command line way to install Kali?

This worked for me, Macbook Pro 2010 - NVIDIA MCP89 (GeForce 320M). Instructions taken from here, but below is all I did. Credit to them: https://askubuntu.com/questions/760374/ubuntu-16-04-nvidia-driver-blank-screen

1) Blacklist the modules. Open the blacklist.conf file.
sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
add the following modules to the end of the file:
blacklist nouveau
blacklist rivafb
blacklist nvidiafb
blacklist rivatv
Save the file and exit.
2) Remove all the nvidia* packages (note this didn't do anything for me, but it's recommended. No harm done in running it)
sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*
3) Update the initramfs disk. Mine was configured to load the nouveau drivers. It takes several seconds. Don't reboot or poweroff!
sudo update-initramfs -u
4) Reboot

museon, Optimus is so bad that instructions that work for a specific GPU model won't always work for another.

That?s cool. Just threw out what worked for me.
