![]() After grub on all other options I get either a completely black screen or a blinking white cursor (and I'm not able to type). I've done Google searches, and nothing has come up. The only clue I have is that when I run Kali in "failsafe live" I get a hangup with what looks to be my wireless card, and I get "rcu_sched kthread starved for # jiffies" and an error code in hexadecimal (which I have no idea how to interpret). I also tried with Vagrant, with a 32 and 64 bit Ubuntu, but both froze at SSH auth. ![]() Ive changed the Ubuntu ISO and that didnt work either. Ive tried the nomodeset stuff and nothing is working. I've used Win32 Disk Imager, Rufus, and DD imaging from a Mac on 2 different flash drives (both with no bad sectors) and with burned disks. Ive been following step by step tutorials, but when Ubuntu should boots and show me the desktop, Im stuck with a blinking cursor on a black screen. The laptop uses integrated graphics, and I've tried using a monitor and/or the "nomodeset" parameter. Ubuntu says that my computer is certified to run 12.04 LTS ( ), but I've had no success with that either. A couple times, I've been able to run Kali and Lubuntu live, but I've never been able to replicate this and both quickly froze up/crashed while in use. (Mac users should probably use 'Cmd+V' instead. Again, this means to hold down your 'Ctrl' key and type 'v'. (The text cursor may already be there, but do it anyway, just in case.) Then type 'Ctrl+V' on your keyboard. I've tried running live and installing 32 and 64 bit Lubuntu, 64 bit Ubuntu, and 64 bit Kali with no avail. Click to put the text cursor onto the blank page. Lenovo ( ), Newegg, and Amazon indicate support for 64 bit operating systems on this computer. ![]() I checked the memory and the SSD and both are fine. With a 2.4Ghz i3 370M and 8GB of RAM, the Thinkpad should be able to run almost any Linux fine. I replaced the HDD with a 240GB Samsung 750 Evo. The machine came with Windows 7 Pro 32 bit installed. I recently bought a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 15 (Model: 031925U) on Ebay.
