First of all, I'm a complete newbie regarding Ubuntu and Linux, but I really want to learn about them as much as I can. After some documentation, I realized that this OS may be the future's best :D
So, my problem is this: The laptop I mentioned in the title has a 120 GB SSD and 1024 GB HDD. I had Windows 10 installed on it before, on SSD, with data on HDD. I actually want to do the same thing with Ubuntu, to put the "/" volume on SSD and the "/home" one on HDD, but here comes the problem: If I install it on HDD, it will work normally (except for the error parsing pcc subspaces from pcct
prompt at boot). However, if I install it on the SSD, it won't boot. I checked the BIOS and there is no option for my SSD as a boot loader (but again, Windows works fine this way).
So... Can you help me? Or give me a guide on installing Ubuntu on an Asus rog laptop? I heard I'm not the only one with the Rog - Linux problems... Please try to explain with lots of details, I want to learn as much as I can.
I want only Ubuntu, not a dual boot system.
/home
in the HDD as intended with it disconnected? Plus, this is not the problem you think it is, it's something else.nomodeset
is only required when the open source driver for Nvidia cards doesn't support the graphics properly. Newer Ubuntu releases shouldn't need it (but still you should install Nvidia drivers afterwards). There should be no need to add a PPA but if it is then it's NOT the one mentioned in the guide. Again, the most probable cause for it not booting when installed in the SSD is it being installed in Legacy mode.
