error: no server is specified. error: no suitable video mode found. /dev/sdc2: clean, 259918/15630336 files.

After this error screen for few seconds it automatically boots into Ubuntu.

Need Help :)

Nothing to worry about especially if it boots fine and loads your graphical environment. It's just a grub warning message because grub doesnt play well with (presumably) nvidia. You could probably make some tweaks to remove the error but there's really no reason to bother.

Let me guess, you have an Nvidia card?

I had this error several times (also cases where it would not boot afterwards). It usually appears after installing Nvidia drivers.

The first two lines seem like they probably came from X, the old standard UI system for *nix. The last line is just saying that your 2nd partition on your 3rd disk was checked with no errors found. This is fine.

Given that the UI then starts up you can ignore these messages. They're there in case the system fails to start up after that point.

GRUB (or any other bootloader) doesn't care about and in fact doesn't even know about X, Wayland, or any other userland GUI system.

X11 doesnt start until after the kernel is loaded.

Yes, that's right.

Did you install Ubuntu alongside Windows, or do a fresh install after wiping?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Its fresh install, no dual boot

According to DDG it's a Grub issue. There are a couple of things you could try by searching that error message.

What are your PC specs? Make sure CSM and Secure Boot are disabled in the BIOS.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
