+screen irrepairably. This likely won't bother you much if you don't use LUKS (I'm guessing since it will just boot through to where it needs to be anyway) but for those of us who do, disabling the splash screen is the only way I have found to be able to enter your password in and continue booting.

+To fix this problem change `splash` to `nosplash` in your GRUB config and run `sudo update-grub` to lock in the changes.

+If you've found yourself in a situation where you are booting into a black screen and don't know how to fix it:
 
-To fix this problem change `splash` to `nosplash` 
-in your GRUB config and run `sudo update-grub` to lock in the changes.
+1. Push right shift a bunch of times until you get to the GRUB boot selection screen
+2. Select your installation and press `e`
+3. Scroll down until you see a place where it says `quiet splash`
+4. Erase `quiet splash` and put either `nomodeset` or `nvidia.modeset=0` - If one doesn't work try the other (this isn't a permanent change)
+5. You should be able to boot into your install far enough to `ctrl + alt + fN` (where N is 1 - 6) into a virtual terminal so you can make the above `nosplash` change to your GRUB config permanent
