I bought the laptop a few days ago without an operating system. Since then I tried to install Ubuntu and was challenged with several errors. I used 'Rufus' to create UEFI and BIOS/UEFI bootable USB, and every time I selected Ubuntu to be installed, the computer showed the following errors, in the corresponding order:

  1. After GRUB appears I see ACPI BIOS ERROR messages before Ubuntu 20.04 starts normally. How do I solve the problem?

  2. nouveau "unknown chipset" On Installer

  3. Error when installing: "unable to find a medium containing a live file system"

When I press F2, I see the Lenovo panel, and that the Secure Boot is disabled and the mode is UEFI.

  • Which version of Ubuntu are you trying to install? – Adnan Nov 24 '21 at 13:13
  • @Adnan The newest LTS – Globus Nov 24 '21 at 13:55
  • @robgrune I know how to install Ubuntu. The challenge is the errors I get and therefore can't install it. – Globus Nov 24 '21 at 14:04
  • The newest LTS is 20.04 (April 2020). Your hardware is much newer. Conclusion: Use 21.10 that can be upgrade to the next LTS 22.04 in April next year. – ChanganAuto Nov 24 '21 at 20:48
  • Hi Adnan. In my experience, many pads, tablets, phones, even laptops require proprietary firmware and will not be compatible for any Linux distro. I tried to help a user with his Lenovo Thinkpad wifi, to no avail. So seems Lenovo is now in the non-compatible category. Thanks for posting your difficulties. – rob grune Nov 25 '21 at 01:31
