How to install Ubuntu Server on a laptop with a burned out video card (and disabled built-in)?
I installed Ubuntu Server 20.04.1 on an old laptop (Lenovo Y500) with a burned out Nvidia graphics card (gt650m), but there was a problem with the video card drivers.
The description of the laptop says that "An interesting feature of the system is the blocking of the graphics core integrated into the processor, the laptop uses discrete video even when running on batteries"
It freezes during normal startup, but when adding the "nomodeset" parameter it loaded. lspci shows that there is only one graphics card in the system, Nvidia gt650m.
No nvidia drivers were found when searching the system, I decided to install it, after that it freezes at boot with pink artifacts on the monitor, even before you can write in the console, nomodeset and other parameters do not help, Recovery Mode too.
