I installed Ubuntu and wiped my windows OS in the process. I cannot boot Ubuntu, run recovery mode or anything.



nomodeset didn't work or anything.



I can open the grub page and run memtest, but that is it.



Please can somebody help. I've seen similar problems on here but nothing like my own.



The laptop is an Acer One 11.



Thanks in advance.
