I just used the command "sudo update-grub" after having added nomodeset to the grub file. Now my laptop won't get past the empty violet linux booting screen. Any help on how to undo this?
I tried to use a terminal in safe mode, but I don't know how to edit the grub file with the terminal only (as gedit doesn't work on a terminal only).
The easiest terminal editor to use is probably going to be nano so a command like this could work:
nano /etc/default/grub
You didn't specify exactly which of the grub configuration files you were editing. So it might be you have to type a different file name.
You can use nano.
nano filename
Ctrl+O to write to file and Ctrl+X to exit.
Oops, sorry, apparently I didn't need to use a terminal. Pressing "e" while in grub selection will let me erase nomodeset :)
