[LINUX_Newbies] Re: Cannot install Ubuntu 18.04 on my computer

 

I found an article that described a similar problem except that his machine was running Win 10.  He solved it by turning Acpi off in grub.  To do this he says at the point just before where my system hangs I should press "e" instead of "continue".  This will take me to a file in grub where I can edit "Acpi=on" to "Acpi=off".  Then after pressing "F10" I can continue with the installation.  Unfortunately pressing "e" on my machine doesn't do anything.  Nor does pressing any other letter.  Apparently my installation hasn't progressed at this point to where I can find grub to edit it.  Any help will be much appreciated.
73,
Jerry

Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: Cannot install Ubuntu 18.04 on my computer

 

I have 2 identical laptop computers one with win 8.0 and one with Ibuntu 16. There are issues with UEFI Bios between the two OS. I cannot transfer the HD form one computer to the other without altering BIOS settings.

Search internet with the following string: ubuntu dual boot windows 7

There are several sources that should be of help.

Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Cannot install Ubuntu 18.04 on my computer

 

Are you attempting to run both systems as a dual boot, or wanting to replace the Win 7 with Ubuntu?
Are you installing Ubuntu from a USB drive?
