I am wanting to install Ubuntu-desktop onto my laptop. I has windows, switched to ubuntu-desktop, then ubuntu-server, and now trying to go back to ubuntu-desktop. I grabbed my flash drive used Rufus and ubuntu 18.04 to create a bootable USB stick like instructed, but I think something got messed up on my computer and I can't get anything to work. I've read through other answers concerning the ACPI BIOS error, but haven't been able to find the pages people are refereeing to.

I can boot up and press shift to get this page:

Install ubuntu
OEM install (for manufacturers)
Check disc for defects

I can press e to enter this page which seems to be the page where you turn off ACPI, but I haven't been able to find that line of code or where to add it.

setparams `Try Ubentu without installing`
    set gfxpayload=keep
    linux        /casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/pressed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper quiet splash ---
    linitrd       /casper/initrd

If I either boot from the page above or try installing ubuntu with the USB that I am using, the purple ubuntu page will load for a few minutes and then I receive this page:

I think rufus has been stating these days that there are missing files. I had to reinstall from popos ==> moved to ubuntu, since I figured out I have to live boot in order to change root password. Don't play with groups :D. Try to fry the USB once again, but with 20.04 trust me, also update rufus there might be some bug swimming around.

  • Sorry I am not following your logic here (excuse my ignorance). How do I fry my USB? Don't use rufus, use popos? And use 20.04? – Binx Oct 21 '20 at 17:22

    By fry what I mean make a bootable USB ,apologies for my dirty slang. What I mean in there friend is that rufus has some troubles. I do not make anymore bootables via it, look forward an alternative. – Nikolay Kostov Nov 05 '20 at 12:48
  • I decided to use a different stick because I believe my other USBs format got all jacked up. I was able to put windows on it, which is what I wanted to do originally. – Binx Nov 05 '20 at 21:32
