I want install ubuntu gnome 16.04/16.04.1 alongside win 10, but everytime I choose something else option, the installer program disappear but the installer icon still on top taskbar, also cannot quit.

I make the boot usb with the rufus 2.11, and can install ubuntu gnome 14.04,ubuntu mate 16.04 ,ubuntu 16.04 successfully. also tried the UUI usb, also not work! so it may not a rufus bug!

there is a very big logo acer screen before I seen the black screen with choices of Try ubuntu without installing and Install Ubuntu

also, I choose GO back when Force UEFI installationprompt dialog popup, because it works on other ubuntu version.

Can anyone help, thanks!

my hardware is acer aspire 4752G with NVIDA Geforec 540M

  • Rufus is worst use : UUI

  • @minigeek Please expand your comment about Rufus. I am interested in knowing if it ever happens with Rufus that the Ubuntu installer starts normally and then quits as soon as you select an option. If it did, that would be a bug

  • When you boot to the live media is it initially a black screen with choices of Try ubuntu without installing and Install Ubuntu. Do you see this choice before you seen any GUI? Oct 1, 2016 at 5:49

    @karel yes i have seen this happened when usb is made bootable with rufus(yesterday only when my frnd did it for fresh install). that's why i recommend people using uui..this is not first time this has happened...might be a bug as u say

Ensure you are booting in UEFI mode. On the black screen before the GUI you'll have choices. Hit e on the Try Ubuntu without installing.

Use the navigate with the arrow keys and replace quiet splach with nomodeset. Then hit F10 to boot.

When you get to the Desktop, click on the Install Ubuntu icon.

When you get to choices of Connect to Network and Install third-party software skip those choices to make install go quicker. You can easily add those items after the install.

After following the GUI install prompt, reboot and you should be all set.

You can get to the Canonical Partners option after the install by clicking on the Gear Icon at the top left of the Screen and going into System Settings. Click on Software & Updates. Place a check mark in Canonical Partners.
