I bought the new HP omen 15 laptop with windows 10 x64 pre-installed and I have problems while installing linux. I made 2 partitions on my laptop . A 15Gb partition on my ssd for "/" and another 85Gb on my HDD for "/home" . Then I disabled fast startup in bios, I disabled the secure boot. Made a live usb using rufus for uefi mode. I'm stuck on the load screen for Ubuntu as well as for fedora. I tried with different usb sticks also!

Any advice is appreciated.

Try on GRUB screen press "e" to edit ubuntu boot config. And add "nomodeset" before "quiet splash". Works for me

  • It doesn't sound like OP has even reached the boot screen (I have been wrong before) so how does this answer the question?

  • Stuck on the load screen. Not boot (GRUB) screen. Read carefully the question and answer

  • This answer might work anyway (maybe, but it's worth a try). Boot from the Ubuntu live USB, and immediately after the BIOS/UEFI splash screen during boot, with BIOS, quickly press and hold the Shift key, which will bring up a GNU GRUB menu screen. With UEFI press (perhaps several times) the Esc key to get to the GNU GRUB menu screen.

Press 'e' to edit grub, after 'quiet splash' add 'pci=nommconf modprobe.blacklist=nouveau'. Once you boot install nVidia drivers and install Grub Customizer to always write 'pci=nommconf' while booting.

I have an Omen 15 DC0004NQ. That's how I fixed it. If you need help, search google for 'Medium Ubuntu install HP Omen 15' and you'll find an article specially made for this laptop.
