I installed Kubuntu 18.04 on a flash drive (I had 2 flash drives, one with the installer ISO from which I installed linux onto the other one) on a machine with an NVIDIA graphics card (GTX770, i7 4770K). The idea was to have a portable persistent operating system.



The problem is, when I try to boot from the stick on another machine with an AMD graphics card (HD7870, i5 4570) it shows the Kubuntu splash screen followed by corrupted white noise.



I already tried the following parameters in the GRUB menu: radeon.nomodeset=0 and nomodeset xforcevesa acpi=off nolapic (basically a hail mary), the last one resulted in a persisent black screen (display was on though).



I did not install a proprietary NVIDIA driver (in fact I did not install any driver), so as far as I'm aware the kernel should just be able to load the suitable drivers, right? I also could not access other TTYs using CTRL+ALT+F1-9.

  • Is there a problem [only] with the installed system in the second USB flash drive? If the live drive has working graphics in the other computer, one alternative is to create a persistent live drive using mkusb according to the following links mkusb and mkusb/persistent
