Kubuntu stays on black screen after installing on iMac A1311

Dec 23, 2023, 11:34 AM

Hi! I've been trying to get Kubuntu working on my iMac A1311 (2011ish I think?), but everytime i try to boot after the installer is done it just gives me a black screen. Also, i could only get the installer to work after selecting the safe graphics option on the GRUB menu.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome.

There are 4 different iMac models with this number (A1311) - do you know if you have a model with Nvidia or ATI/AMD graphics?
Does your iMac boot from a live 23.10 USB stick into the GUI ("Try Kubuntu")?

Debian KDE & LXQt • Kubuntu & Lubuntu • openSUSE KDE • Windows • macOS X
Desktop: Lenovo ThinkCentre M75s • Laptop: Apple MacBook Pro 13" • and others

get rid of Snap script (20.04 +) • reinstall Snap for release-upgrade script (20.04 +)
install traditional Firefox script (22.04 +) • install traditional Thunderbird script (24.04)
