Aurora R9, installing Ubuntu issues
Hi maybe someone here can help -
I tried to install Ubuntu on my desktop with a usb installer and got a black screen which I fixed by adding 'nomodeset' before quiet splash in the GRUB menu.
Now after installing I get the same black screen (with some noise) but I cannot enter the GRUB screen and use the same fix. On startup with F12 I get the dell bios screen and if I pick Ubunto it starts directly with no option to edit.
I also tried using ctrl+alt+F* and nothing happened.
Any idea how can this be fixed?
Thanks
UBUNTU, v18?
i have no idea at all what is inside your PC, hard drives, HDD, SSD, M,2?
nor what you installed to. what drive, and did you erase it first. so the install is clean
and use legacy mode. see my post 5 minutes above on same topic, UBUNTU. 7070.
set boot order. right?
legacy,
if I pick Ubunto it starts directly with no option to edit.
bios is not a boot manager at all. all you can do is pick order (F2), or force the boot by hand F12.
if the PC HDD drive is not empty installed to. and in secureboot, Unbuntu will not like that, so erase the drive,
I use killdisk.exe.
turn off secureboot, f2.
set boot order to he BOOT HDD. drive. (Ubuntu)
set boot order to USB and BOOT next.
PXE off.
then force the USB boot insTALLER STICK WITH f12, FORCED TO usb FORCED BOOT, AND INSTALL UBUNTU. ON Second boot, USB removed the hDD Boot. linux. automatically.

Hello,
We are facing issues with the installation prompt for Ubuntu 18.04, Unable to proceed from the Installer grub, it's a black screen?
Tried , acpi=off, nomodeset parameters added in grub still no luck
Below is the Env---
UEFI - Dual boot, secure boot disabled, SATA -> AHCI
Bios vers - 1.0.7
$find /sys/devices -name "edid"
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-HDMI-A-1/edid
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-DP-1/edid
$lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU104 [GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER] (rev a1)
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU104 [GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER] (rev a1)
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS worked without any modifications. Issue is with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. We need to stick to 18.04 due to some software limitations.
Please anyone share some views on this?
Thanks
Jaya
Issue fixed.
By default 18.04 marked incorrect disk for the boot loader installation which caused the machine not boot properly. Due to this EFI mounts from secondary disk causing the booting issue.
Marked the correct disk during installation by choosing bootloader fixed the issue
Please mark this request as closed.
Notes:-for dual boot in Aurora R9
For Ubuntu 18.04 / 16.04 below is the fix from my side
From BIOS
Disable secure boot,
Storage AHCI mode
Remove quiet and splash and add "nomodeset" from grub and install the OS. Mark correct disk from the bootloader list in the custom partitioning page
On First boot, quiet and splash and add "nomodeset" and install the NVIDIA proprietary drivers preferably latest one ( 440 ) . Then reboot, it will work
