I am new to Ubuntu and recently I bought a new Dell Computer: Inspiron 13 5000 with 256 SSD, model i5379-5893GRY-PUS. I am trying to install Ubuntu.

I did try a lot of configurations, but none was successful. Things I already tried:

  • Disable fast boot
  • powercfg off
  • AHCI enable
  • Startup windows on safe mode and then restarting
  • Disable security boot
  • Partitioning on windows

I really don't know what else to try.

Commands:

$ fdisk -l

  • What did you choose in the installer to get to that point ? – Soren A Jul 03 '18 at 12:38
  • Just selected language, keyboard style and the message appears – Bruno Mecca Jul 03 '18 at 12:45
  • Show us the partitions, please. – user535733 Jul 03 '18 at 13:22
  • the partitions are now in the post. – Bruno Mecca Jul 03 '18 at 13:39

    Your Ubuntu terminal view does not show any hard drive partitions, only the one on the USB. – Organic Marble Jul 03 '18 at 13:51
  • Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Could you please post text files, dialogue messages, and program output listings as text, not as images? To achieve the latter two you can either 1) select, copy & paste the dialogue text or terminal content or 2) [save the program output to a file](//askubuntu.com/q/420981/175814) and use that. Longer listings (the editor will tell you what’s too long) should be uploaded to a [pastie service](https://paste.ubuntu.com/) and linked to in the question. Thanks. – David Foerster Jul 04 '18 at 11:42
  • Which Ubuntu release are you trying to install? Looks like Ubuntu doesn't recognise the storage controller. Could you please make sure that AHCI mode is selected in BIOS and [edit] your question to include the output of `sudo lsblk -f` and `sudo lshw -C storage`. Thanks. – David Foerster Jul 04 '18 at 11:44
  • Modifications done! – Bruno Mecca Jul 04 '18 at 13:02
