Problem:

We werefacing an issue with my Ubuntu Server 16.04 installation. I have it running on a Zotac Z-Box CI23 Nano. It installed fine, but on its first boot all I had was a blank screen. I edited

/etc/default/grub

and changed

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset"

This let me see the startup, but the text is all garbled white blocks:

Solution:

Go to :

/etc/default/grub

Uncomment GRUB_TERMINAL=console

Uncomment GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 I set it to GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x800 because that's the monitor I'm using's default.

Save it then :

sudo update-grub

and reboot and it is showing as expected. 

Only the combination of those three changes seem to make it work for me, but YMMV.

I hope your problem solves!
