I have an Asus F556U series, 8G of RAM, and trying to install Ubuntu 18.04 from USB when I get to the part where it shows the image, the installation freezes. I've been half an hour now and continue as you see the image. Is there anything special I need to do to install Ubuntu on Asus? Thank you

    Try unchecking other options, i.e. just do normal installation. Sometimes due to connection issues this screen seems to be little laggy. – Kulfy Aug 31 '18 at 21:32

    Once you are done with installation, let me know. I'll post that as an answer. – Kulfy Aug 31 '18 at 21:53
  • Impossible. It was frozen in the next step to the "updates and other software". I have started again and freezes again in the step of the image. I do not know what else to do. – Miguel Espeso Aug 31 '18 at 22:16

    Are you connecting to any network during installation? If yes, please don't connect. – Kulfy Sep 01 '18 at 01:14
  • Hello @Kulfy, why do you say do not connect? It is a trust network ... So, should I do the installation if I connect to the internet? – Miguel Espeso Sep 01 '18 at 15:47

    Actually I have doubts on your network. I think it's little bit slow which (I personally think) might be causing issues. Have you unchecked other options that I mentioned in earlier comments? – Kulfy Sep 01 '18 at 18:52
  • Thank you @Kulfy. If I uncheck all the options and disconnect from the network. But it does not work, 18.04 always freezes, each time in a different part. Install 16.01 and I'll try to update to 18.04 – Miguel Espeso Sep 01 '18 at 19:15

    whenever it freezes try to post that here or in a new question. Its always fun to know why it freezes – Kulfy Sep 01 '18 at 19:28

    Just go for normal installation. That's it. – Kulfy Sep 01 '18 at 19:31
  • Thank you. I already asked in other occasions for that problem and they sent me to questions that did not solve my problem. I have correctly installed 16.01, I will try to update from here. The installation as you told me worked, but with 16.01, with 18.04 no. It is true that I was able to get more steps of the installation, but it does not complete – Miguel Espeso Sep 01 '18 at 19:56

    It must be 16.04 – Kulfy Sep 01 '18 at 19:58

I have managed to overcome all the problems that my Asus F556U offered me to install Ubuntu 18.04 and it was thanks to @oldfred which showed me the idea of updating the BIOS, and it shows in another question I did: How to install Ubuntu on ASUS F556U, JournalError error? Seeing other examples and modifying GRUP, changing quiet spla\sh by pci=nomsi I managed not to freeze the installation and could complete it. I hope you can help other users
