"Try Ubuntu" crashes in 18.04 live cd
I solved this issue thanks to @sudodus.
For others with the same problem, while booting Ubuntu 18.04 press F6
.
A menu will appear with different options, pressing F6
and e
you could edit the boot options, just add nomodeset
before quiet splash
and press enter.
Once installed you can install proprietary drivers to use the dedicated graphic card.

I'm trying to run a live version of Ubuntu 18.04 but as soon as I click on "Try Ubuntu" the mouse' cursor disappears and the system gets stuck.
I tryed to click install and then exit, I was able to move the window and I saw a standard "ubuntu has experienced an internal error", but as I click continue another popup appears, telling me a live desktop would be launched and then the system gets stuck like before.
My clevo P640RE laptop:
- i7-6700HQ
- 8GB ram
- Nvidia GeForce GTX 970M
- Intel Wireless 8260

sudodus about 6 yearsMaybe the boot option
nomodeset
will help with the nvidia graphics card. If you get it working this way, you can try later to install a proprietary nvidia graphics driver to use the full power of the graphics card. -
Daniele Gamba about 6 yearsThanks @sudodus, i achieved booting live with
nomodeset
. How this could impact my system once i install it? -
sudodus about 6 yearsYou can use
nomodeset
also in the installed system. And later on try a proprietary nvidia graphics driver. You can keepnomodeset
in your installed system. See Grub2/Setup. --GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX
Entries on this line are added to the end of the 'linux' command line (GRUB legacy's "kernel" line) for both normal and recovery modes. It is used to pass options to the kernel. -
sudodus about 6 yearsYou are welcome and good luck :-)

Hitesh Sahu over 5 yearsLinux users have long had a love-hate relationship with Nvidia. Linus Torvalds literally gave it the middle finger a few years ago. Torvalds also called them “the single worst company” the Linux developer community has ever had to deal with.
