Upgrade Ubuntu 12.10 >>> Ubuntu 13.04 Black Screen Boot Failed with Nvidia Geforce Gt630 WHY?
Here is what happened... you are TEMPORARILLY modifying the grub boot parameters. You need to permanently modify them. So you need to add nomodeset to your /etc/default/grub/
I will assume you are using Ubuntu with unity for my example: Open a terminal and type:
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
look for the line that says: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and change it too: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset" Then, (VERY IMPORTANT) save the file and run this command:
sudo update-grub
Reboot without troubles!
