I am trying to dual boot my pc with windows 11 and Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS. I used both balena etcher and rufus for making the flash drive, same problem for both. My flash drive has 32 gb so it is fully fitted on there. I start the pc with the usb inside after selecting the right priority in the BIOS. I already have windows installed and am trying to add the ubuntu version mentioned. When starting the pc I see a very short error message which I cannot read because it immediately dissapears and then get the following menu with the following options

Try or install Ubuntu
Ubuntu(safe graphics)
OEM install (for manufactureres)
Boot from next volume
UEFI Firmware settings

When doing any of the last 3 options it just starts to windows. I did not try the second option "Ubuntu" and when doing try or install ubuntu I get the following error message with a black screen

[ numbers] nouveau numbers: unknown chipset (numbers)

What exactly can I do? I found one stack overflow where they mentioned that it is because the driver is not supported and I have to install it. They mentioned enabling networking and then selecting dpkg, however I cannot find a place to do that. I can then also not open any terminal somewhere to install the driver.

  • Use the second option "Ubuntu(safe graphics)". Then install the Nvidia driver onto Ubuntu – Daniel T Feb 01 '24 at 18:53
  • what exactly does the second option do? – programmingWolf Feb 01 '24 at 18:54
  • See https://askubuntu.com/q/1138137/1004020 . It's for installing Ubuntu when it has a problem with your (usually Nvidia) GPU. Once you finish installing, you can install Nvidia's official driver – Daniel T Feb 01 '24 at 18:56
  • so when I install the driver using command line for example on the graphics version, can I then restart the pc and use the normal option? Because I tried using the graphics version and "try ubuntu" installed the driver using the terminal but then when I restarted my pc and did the first option it gave the same error. – programmingWolf Feb 01 '24 at 19:13
  • You should not see the same menu of options when you reboot. You need to eject and remove the installation media – Daniel T Feb 01 '24 at 19:15
  • so I should not only do try ubuntu but also install it with the save grahics? – programmingWolf Feb 01 '24 at 19:22
  • Why? If "try ubuntu" works then use it. Only if it doesn't work, use "safe graphics". – Daniel T Feb 01 '24 at 19:24
  • the problem was that that the first option "try and install" does not work. The save graphics does work but I assumed that was just for installing the driver so that after the driver works you should still use the "try and install" option. Since I want the optimal version and not the save version. But I selected "save graphics" then selected "try ubuntu" and then installed the drivers. After I did not want to install ubuntu using save graphics so I restarted my pc but then I tried the "try and install" option again and it did not work. So should i just install ubuntu using the "save graphics"? – programmingWolf Feb 01 '24 at 19:28
  • I guess so. I've never had to personally use safe graphics. If the menu goes "safe graphics" > "try ubuntu" then you can use that. Just remember to remove the USB or CD before rebooting so that you don't see the "try ubuntu" option again after installing – Daniel T Feb 01 '24 at 19:34
