Terminal is where troubleshooting takes place. Many times the person answering, will ask for results of a command. You will copy and paste their command into Terminal. Then you will copy and paste results back here. The way to get into Terminal is CTRL+ALT+T. Most times it will ask for your password. Type it in, you will see nothing, press enter, Terminal will take it. Try this command: lspci

I cant copy and past because i have to used another computer to do this and the ubuntu one keeps going to the black screen

I do not know the answer to your original question. Launchpad is other Ubuntu users answering questions, that we have knowledge about. Some people that answer, are in UK, Greece, and other parts of Europe. They will be off the internet now. People in US will still be on. Getting immediate answers, will require paid support. See site below.

Add the boot option:

nomodeset

You have an Intel GPU. I also suggest you use the Unity2D as it is lighter.

Can you please quit with the "is anyone there" crap. This is NOT irc, it is not live. It is a forum and people will reply if and when they can. Adding those posts simply lengthens your post and means people have to read more useless text.

how do you add boot option
Nomodeset is it in the terminal
