Press the E key and add nouveau.modeset=0 at the end of the linux line.
Set a Space between the last character in the linux line and nouveau.modeset=0
Press the F10 key to boot into the Live desktop - now install Ubuntu.
After it is finished, reboot the system and this time select the Ubuntu menu entry.
