Troubleshooting when installing Linuxmint18 AMD graphics does not support issues

Installation Linuxmint18 black screen problem description

AMD graphics machine through the U-disk installation Linuxmint18 system, enter the situation of black screen, to solve the problem, at the start of the e-key to modify grub boot, find with "quiet splash-" that line, the "quiet splash-" Delete, And in the end of the line with "Nomodeset nouveau.noaccel=1", press F10 start, after installation, the computer restarts, but also add "Nomodeset", after entering the system after the update video card driver. When updating the graphics driver, only open source drivers are used because Linuxmint18 has removed support for the AMD graphics card's private drive. So to update the graphics driver to support AMD graphics, you need to recompile the kernel, the kernel version is more than 4.6. Here I use the 4.7.1 kernel for compilation and installation.

Kernel 4.7.1 Kernel Compilation installation Instructions

Kernel source Download

https://www.kernel.org/

Kernel configuration

　　Open the terminal in the directory where the source files are located, unzip the source package, then enter the extracted source folder, execute the kernel configuration instructions.

　　

tar XF linux-4.7. 1. Tar . XZCD Linux-4.7. 1  make menuconfig (the directive requires the installation of the Libncurses5-dev package)

The kernel configuration interface is then entered, as shown in

Configure the kernel, select device drivers to enter, as shown in

Then enter graphics support as shown in

Configure AMD's associated graphics driver support by pressing Y, then save as shown in

Save complete, compile, compile and execute the following instructions (the directive needs to install the Kernel-package package)

sudo make-kpkg--initrd kernel_headers kernel_image-j32

During the compilation process may be reported on the OpenSSL error, please install the Libssl-dev package

sudo apt-get install Libssl-dev

Once the compilation is complete, you will get two packages, install the kernel package, update the Startup items, and then restart the system.

sudo dpkg-i linux-headers-4.7. 1_4. 7.1-10.00. Custom_amd64.debsudo dpkg-i linux-image-4.7. 1_4. 7.1-10.00. Custom_amd64.debsudo update-grubsudo reboot
