I can't install ubuntu 15.10 at MSI GL62 6QD. Any options (install or try without install), as checking this disk makes the laptop freeze after two lines of Nouveau driver are shown.

I've checked the iso and it is fine (coincidence of md5).

I've also disabled every advanced option at BIOS configuration, and it freezes at the same time always.

The laptop is provided with a 950M Nvidia chipset.

Is there any possible solution?

Edit: I've also tried to install Xubuntu 15.10, which shows this output:

Edit 2: I've installed Linux Mint Rosa with Cinamon which is based in Ubuntu 14.04, but I'm still interested in Ubuntu 15.10.

I am referring to this answer from my other answers. I had a login loop issue as mentioned here. It seems you are also encountering login loop issue due to nvidia drivers issue.

First uninstall the currently installed NVIDIA drivers.Boot the computer, when the GRUB menu appears ...

Highlight the Ubuntu menu entry and press the E key.Add nouveau.modeset=0 to the end of the linux line. Press F10 to boot the Ubuntu operating system.

When the login screen appears press Ctrl + Alt + F1. Enter your user name and the password, then execute :

sudo apt-get purge nvidia*  
sudo reboot

Now install the latest official stable NVIDIA drivers.Boot the computer, when the GRUB menu appears ...

Highlight the Ubuntu menu entry and press the E key.Add nouveau.modeset=0 to the end of the linux line. Press F10 to boot the Ubuntu operating system.

When the login screen appears press Ctrl + Alt + F1. Enter your user name and the password, then execute :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-361 sudo reboot

Note : Maybe it is explicitly necessary to select the NVIDIA adapter in BIOS.

In case you have installed the nvidia driver from their site then uninstall it as per that instructions.Uninstall that driver by running, as root, sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-361.28.run and follow the on screen instructions.

Note : The solution I have provide has been tested on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 15.10 for two GPUs

  • I can't install Ubuntu. How do I disable Nouveau then? – lilezek Mar 08 '16 at 20:36

    Do the same from the install menu, then run the commands after install. start from Add nouveau.modeset=0 (you can do this on the install boot menu), install and then follow his tutorial. – Izzno Mar 09 '16 at 22:53
  • But how do I uninstall Nouveau controllers from Ubuntu if it is not installed yet? It's burnt in a DVD. Should I use USB installation instead? If so, could @Ashu rewrite the answer to follow all these considerations? – lilezek Mar 10 '16 at 12:18

    @lilezek. Please do what IzznogooooD mentioned. You can do this at the time of install also. – Ashu Mar 10 '16 at 14:04

I have just installed ubuntu on my MSI GP62 6QE Leopard Pro (Which also has the NVIDIA 950M) few days back succesfully. You may try by adding boot line parameter as, nouveau.modeset = 0

You may check the reference as well, Boot Option : ACPI=off
