hello dear ubuntu fans,

my passion for gaming made me switch from a macbook to the lenovo y700. i thought i'm going to dual boot the laptop with win10 for gaming and ubuntu for programming.

i partitioned the internal SSD in a 70GB partition i want to use for the ubuntu.

NOW:

using the UEFI menue to boot i can select the USB drive with 15.10 on it. I can select if i want to try or install ubuntu. Selecting either option results in a ubuntu loading screen, and after this screen the lenovo logo pops up and the laptop boots in windows 10... i really have no idea what the issue might be, i did a lot of googleing to find a similar question but couldn't find anything that could help.

cheers

Disable secure boot. Disable UEFI and change it to leagacy support. Disable fast boot.

And you also need kernel 4.4 so i use ubuntu 16.04 lts on my lenovo y700 .

  • hello, disabling UEFI and legacy support worked for me thank you! now one little issue, when i boot my laptop it boots into the linux menue, where i can choose which operating system i want to boot, if i select windows, it boots something different than my windows 10, any idea by chance? – Beat Scherrer Mar 11 '16 at 09:11
  • What do you medan with something different ? – Hyltixa Mar 11 '16 at 12:51
  • @Hyltixa do you have any performance problem with ubuntu on y700? I want to buy y700 and I also want to use it with ubuntu for programming and windows for game – Siavash Abdoli Aug 16 '16 at 10:28
  • I Really confused about buying a mac or this laptop. the price is very cheaper for y700. I develop android application – Siavash Abdoli Aug 16 '16 at 10:29
  • Hey! When i wanted to boot windows again i needed to change back UEFI i think. I dont have a lenovo y700 anymore so not sure :).

    Performance was excellent on the lenovo, no problem at all, except for the need of at least kernel 4,4 to get the wifi working :).
