I have an ACER Aspire laptop. Model number is E5-573G-56RG. I bought it only 15 days back. There is no DVD drive in it. I have tried various versions of Ubuntu- 14.04.2, 14.04.3, 15.10, 12.04.5. Tried disabling secure boot, fast startup. I current have Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 PRO (not-activated) installed with GPT partition in UEFI bios. I actually want only the Home edition and Ubuntu 14.04.3 (preferably because of LTS) or 15.10. In case more information is required, kindly ask me..
I tried installing through Wubi, when booting if I choose Ubuntu it automatically restarts and goes into Windows 10 Home! (I didn't have Windows 10 PRO at that time)
NONE OF THE SOLUTIONS I REFERRED HELPED ME.
I have spent 5 days (literally at least 20 hours reading all of them and trying out all kinds of editing in the grub command line, like removing quiet splash
, adding and replacing with nomodeset
, no splash
, acpi_osi=off
, acpi_osi=Linux
, acpi_backlight=vendor
, acpi_backlight=legacy
, noveau.modeset=0
, i915.i915_enable_rc6=1
and such things! But I was not able to succeed installing which is why I doubt if there is some more thing to be done or know exactly what has to be done.
