I am installing 14.04.2 on a two brand new Intel NUC's Model NUC5i7RYH. They have the latest tech for the NUC's but there is something that fails with the graphics. When the desktop displays for the installer the window are mostly blank. Text and icons don't show up so I can't read what to do next. I can get solid light grey background color of a dialog and the desktop is redish. I can see a continue button but I don't know what will happen if I press it. Intel reports that this system is compatible with Ubuntu but my two are not behaving. Any help would be great. thanks clay

That was it I did not realize that the stable release was so old. 15.04 worked.– Clay BarclayMay 8, 2015 at 3:20

this seems to be a typical problem while installing 14.04.2. i even tried the option for "try ubuntu before installing" and after the desktop shows up various windows don't render correctly.– samkhan13Aug 31, 2015 at 20:52

If you wish an LTS Ubuntu release, then you must install 14.04.X.
The solution is to install Ubuntu Server 14.04.2 then update your fresh installed system and use apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
Graphics will work fine after reboot.
