I just bought a Dell Inspiron 7567 and I am trying to install Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04, 17.04, ...
I can see the grub menu, where I can select the options, but sometimes it crushes even before Ubuntu Live loads, others once it's loaded, and I cannot run any program and I just can reboot and start over again.
I've disabled secure boot, added nomodeset in the boot options, ... but nothing works.
I don't think the problem is about the bootable USB, as I used several of them and I have the issue with all of them.
A bit more of info. The computer comes with windows 10 installed in a m.2 ssd. I bought a ssd drive where I plan to install Linux
It's getting kind of frustrating/disappointing, I start thinking that I will have to stay with Windows until there is a new linux version that does not have all this problems
Has anyone succeeded in installing Ubuntu in this same model? Could you please help me? Could you tell me the steps I have to follow?
Any help/advise will be much appreciated
Bounty Update
My 512 GB ssd failed to boot ubuntu installed via UEFI boot mode. my dell bios configuration looks like,
SATA: AHCI (without this setting, I cant see my ssd on ubuntu live usb) secure boot: disabled boot mode: UEFI
I managed to install ubuntu 16.04 via live uefi usb stick. But I can't boot from ssd. On the boot option, I tried creating a new boot menu which pointing to efi/ubuntu/shim64x.efi
but no results. Still I'm getting the below error.
Product Name: Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming
ePSA: UEFI ROM
No bootable devices found
I also tried, chroot into the installed ubuntu from live usb and changed the kernal boot parameters like below,
but still I got the same boot error "No bootable devices found". Some says SSD won't support legacy ROMs that's why I'm sticking to UEFI.
nomodeset
for the gaming series that include a Nvidia graphics card but regardless of that eventual additional step, the problem boils down to how you're doing and booting the installation media. This is what you need to know: help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
