I bought a new OMEN Laptop by HP and I tried to install Ubuntu Desktop 18.04 LTS using a live USB Drive. Every looked good until showed the desktop screen, in this moment the computer friezed.

Then I installed a 16.04 LTS version and work great over the half of my SSD and HD. I Install the Nvidia drivers and works good but the sound is to low and sometimes I new to restart to make the audio comes back. Sometimes the laptop don’t complete the shutdown sequence.

With Windows boot enabled everything is always OK.

What I what? My goal is to install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS without problems. But if you can show me how to fix my problem with Ubuntu 16.04 doesn’t be a bad idea.

When you ask multiple questions, you need to find one expert versed in multiple areas, which becomes unlikelier the more questions you put into, well, one question! ;-) So please, split up your question into multiple questions and drop me a comment so I can answer one of your questions.

Late answer to this question but I had the same problem which I had to figure out by myself. This problem seems to stem from the fact that gaming laptops rely on nvidia graphics cards for the display and so tend to be tied to nvidia graphics drivers so there seems to be a conflict with nvidia graphics drivers and the Ubuntu noveau drivers.

The solution is to black-list the noveau drivers and install the nvidia ones .

  • Disable Secure Boot (change this in BIOS)

  • Go to Grub Ubuntu option (BUT DONT PRESS ENTER) Press e Find the line that starts with: linux then add: modprobe.blacklist=nouveau after: quiet splash.

  • After installation make sure to blacklist noveau at the installed Grub

  • Then install the nvidia drivers;

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa

    sudo apt update

    sudo apt install nvidia-driver-[**your driver version number**]

    sudo reboot

I gleaned this from a solution for MSI laptops as a guide. I had already installed Ubuntu but it was freezing at startup so at the Grub menu I just modified the Ubuntu Entry to blacklist the noveau driver and then proceeded to install nvidia drivers. Note: make sure to use the correct nvidia driver for your card as it may not be the 396 used in the solution mine was 390 for the 1050Ti

It would be best if you could provide the general details of your answer in your actual post, citing your link as a reference. Mar 23, 2019 at 12:05

  • FYI... I faced the same problem with HP Omen - 15 ( Intel® Core™ i7-10750H, NVIDIA RTX 2070 - MAX-Q) while trying to install Ubuntu 20.04. I booted Ubuntu in safe mode and installed the NVIDIA drivers, started working for me. Did not need to blacklist the noveau drivers or disable ACPI.

Problem is with ACPI Ubuntu support.
ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface

You can bypass this by holding left shift on device turn on,
wait to see grub menu. . .

Then press key e and add acpi=off

You can see info here
http://ubuntuguide.net/turn-off-acpi-ubuntu-grub2

NOTE: You will need to do this on every system start. Until you fix your drivers. Turning off permanently will affect some devices, like the touchpad and maybe more devices.

Better solution is to update Nvidia drivers

More info you can find here on link
How do I disable ACPI when booting?

Answer for all those owners of laptops with Ubuntu and new graphics cards:

Latest Ubuntu's releases updates and install the right driver version with a single command:

$ sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall && sudo reboot

Enjoy!
