I am trying to install Ubuntu mate on my rpi2. But so far, I am only getting a black screen (I don't even see a the colorful splash screen)
I installed NOOBS on my MicroSD card to ensure that the card is not faulty, and NOOBS booted up instantly.
I cross checked the md5 hash from Ubuntu mate's website, so my download was not corrupted.
And since I am using HDMI to DVI-D cable, I un-commented the line hdmi-force-output=1
in config.txt
(There was no need to do this step while installing NOOBS)
I also removed all the peripheral devices (only HDMI & power cable are there at boot)
And also the green light blinks for a few minutes, and now only red light is on.

uncomment #hdmi_safe=1
This should work. I have seen similar reports, and suspect there is some difference in the Ubuntu Mate.
If this gets you a display, you can explore the modes available.

It worked! Thanks. Although the display resolution was very low. But I fixed that in
config.txt
I am guessing it's a bug in mate?– JarwinDec 5, 2015 at 14:45 -
