Linux install monitor out of range












0














I just built my computer and I tried to install Xubuntu, but shortly after I start the install my monitor gives me the message out of range, and it doesn't allow me to finish installing it. I've seen a number of other posts about the same issue under slightly different circumstances or having solutions that don't work for me.



I got to the installer boot menu, and I tried both the try before installing and the install options, and both start showing 4 loading dots and Xubuntu 16.04 in plain-text. Sometimes a few lines of text show something, but soon after I get the out of range message.



I tried installing with other options like vga=771 and a few other, but they didn't seem to make much difference. The installer boot menu said to type menu in to return to that menu, but that didn't seem to do anything and it just started to install, so I'm not sure if it even took any of the options I tried. I also tried pressing some function keys as some solutions suggested, but all any of them seemed to do was refresh the installer boot menu.



I tried installing the regular Ubuntu, but it did the exact same things. I also tried installing Linux Mint, and it also gave me the out of range message. I tried installing Debian, and it had a completely different install boot set up, but I ran into an issue with it not being able to read from the cdrom, even though I'm using a usb with YUMI to install it, which also seemed to be a common issue that I couldn't find a solution to.



My computer is using a GTX 1070, and my monitor is an ASUS VN279Q. (I can provide additional system info if necessary)



What can I do to actually get Xubuntu installed? I would even settle for one of the other distros I mentioned.

Do you have built-in video on your motherboard? If you do, I would try using that port instead just for the install, and then after you get it working attempt to install the additional NVIDIA drivers to get that graphics card working.



You may want to research your model of NVIDIA card more, I had some issues with my new laptop and in order to get my wireless NIC working I had to install a newer kernel version than what comes with debian in order to get it working. I'm not sure if more support for graphics chipsets come with new kernel versions, but it did for my intel wifi chipset.



You may also want to try vga=ask

    • I have a different menu than the pictures I see online. I don't have other options to be able to select nomodeset. I found that I could press tab and see some terminal command with a lot of options. One thing I saw said to replace splash with nomodeset and it started load things differently, but it still gave me the out of range message eventually.

    There is a compiled driver that already supports GTX 1070, which is 367.



    I didn't know about the nomodeset command,so what I did is just use my integrated graphics to boot up into Ubuntu and install the latest driver that supports GTX 1070 (which is 367) from the graphics-driver PPA. Do not install the latest driver from the Nvidia's website because it won't install the 32 bit drivers and causes some application fails to start, such as Steam.



    After you booted up into Ubuntu using your integrated graphics or using the nomodeset, install the drivers from PPA.



    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install nvidia-367


    and after that reboot your machine, now you can start using your GTX 1070/1080.

            There is a compiled driver that already supports GTX 1070, which is 367.



            I didn't know about the nomodeset command,so what I did is just use my integrated graphics to boot up into Ubuntu and install the latest driver that supports GTX 1070 (which is 367) from the graphics-driver PPA. Do not install the latest driver from the Nvidia's website because it won't install the 32 bit drivers and causes some application fails to start, such as Steam.



            After you booted up into Ubuntu using your integrated graphics or using the nomodeset, install the drivers from PPA.



            sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
            sudo apt-get update
            sudo apt-get install nvidia-367


            and after that reboot your machine, now you can start using your GTX 1070/1080.
