Hi, Made some progress.
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-23-generic root=UUID=etc ro nomodeset quiet splash vga=768 You see some kernel messages. Then X starts up Then a kernel message about starting up NTP appears and a few messages after that, we have a big black screen. At this point I pressed CTRL+ALT+F1 and logged in as a text mode user. Now all I need to do is to find the appropriate package to install the Intel 810 graphics drivers from. I prefer to do a sudo apt-get install but have recently discovered the text mode package manager aptitude.
