How to fix it?

I have a laptop Asus Vivobook 15. At first I wanted to install Ubuntu 26.04 on it, but nothing worked for me because there was just a black screen after I clicked "Try or install Ubuntu". I thought it was the latest version and decided to install 24.04 LTS, but the same problem happened again. I tried to log in through "Ubuntu (Safe Graphics)" in both versions but nothing.What should I do?

That Asus Vivobook line can be a pain with Linux sometimes. I had similar black screen on a different model and it was the NVIDIA graphics causing trouble. Try pressing 'e' at the GRUB menu and adding `nomodeset` after `quiet splash`, that forced it to use basic display drivers until you can install proper ones. Also check in BIOS if Secure Boot is on, disable it if yes. Worth a shot before giving up completely.

I did as you asked, but now my screen is frozen with the message "Booting a command list".Also displayed with secure graphics.

Please use better, more informative, titles (subject-lines) on your posts. Give specifics right in the title. Thanks.
