Hello community,
After using Kubuntu exclusively on my Dell for almost 5 years, I decided to get a new computer (has Win 8.1 pre-loaded). Unfortunately, I can't get it to successfully boot the live USB. USB works on other computers, MD5SUM was good before I made the image bootable to the USB. I was able to configure the laptop to boot from USB.
I get the EFI boot menu and it allows me to select different options. After I was greeted with the black screen a few times, I used the "e" option to edit the boot parameters. From the parameters, when I remove the "quiet" option from the boot parameters, I can see the live environment is failing on the on-board graphics. Are there better parameters I can use to get past this sticking point? I'm open to other suggestions for booting into the live environment before committing to wiping the disk....
I don't know if I've neglected some other settings and this is just a symptom of an unrelated issue or configuration...
Thanks for the attention,
James
