I´ve been trying to follow every guide I see about installing ubuntu onto a UEFI laptop, but so far nothing has worked. Basically I want to overwrite windows 8 with ubuntu, so I never have to see it again. I installed ubuntu 12.10 64 bit with pendrive onto a USB, went into the computer BIOS, set the usb drive as the priority, disabled fastboot and secure boot. I then get to a screen that gives the options ¨Try Ubuntu without installing¨, ¨Install Ubuntu¨ and ¨Check disk for defects¨. It´s the kind of screen that´s a very basic black screen with those options, no Ubuntu logo or any other options, except for going to the command line and etc.

Upon pressing any of the 3 options the screen then goes blank, with the backlight still on and continues to stay like that forever until I turn it off.

I´ve tried everywhere to look for a solution, but most answers, including the nomodeset fix, can´t apply to this because there´s no available option for it.

Does anybody know what to do?

  • This can happen sometimes, I suggest you flash your usb again. – Thomas15v Apr 02 '13 at 06:07
