Unable to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 10

Question

I've burnt Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS 64-bit on DVD-R by Infra Recorder, and created a live USB of 15.10 64-bit using Universal USB Installer.

Then I tried installing Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS 64-bit, or Ubuntu 15.10 64-bit alongside windows 10, but I keep getting these errors:

With no parameter nomodeset (transcribed from video given in original post):

You should try to use nouveau.modeset=0 instead nomodeset.

The issue that you have is a kind of incompatibility between nouveau open source driver and some Nvidia graphic cards.

I've got the same problem with a PC with a Nvidia GTX950M: nomodeset didn't work, but nouveau.modeset=0 worked.

P.S. once you have installed Ubuntu, to keep things working, you have to add nouveau.modeset=0 to grub configuration file or blacklist nouveau driver.

My solution that solved my problem:

change grub configuration file opening it as administrator:

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

add nouveau.modeset=0 to the following line as showed:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nouveau.modeset=0"

then save with ctrl+o and exit with ctrl-x. Now you have to update grub with the following command:

sudo update-grub

I hope to be useful.

im no have inastalled ubuntu, how i can change configuration file of grub. – Kacper Apr 02 '16 at 11:42
@Kacper First edit grub as you have done in the second video. Then, if you succeed to boot and install Ubuntu, reboot system (and eventually edit another time the grub during boot). Only when you have Ubuntu working you can change grub configuration file permanently. – Danibix Apr 02 '16 at 12:42
nouveau.modeset=0 does not help are the same errors – Kacper Apr 02 '16 at 14:18

I had the same problem, for solution your problem must install the last distro of ubuntu, NO 14.04, i dont know why, but didn't recognise the new root of folders than use windows 10, so the partition didn't know where is the point of start on the disc for install ubuntu on 14.04, i believe than the wizard install of 14.04 were a deprecated script, so when u install from a usb or from a disc already u make a copy from the iso of 14.04 a script before from the release of windows 10. obviously that script did not have support for that NEW OS

-1 The Nouveau driver supports Nvidia's Maxwell chips (GTX 970/980) since kernel v3.19 which was shipped with Ubuntu Trusty 14.04.0. It should be fine in 14.04.4. — David Foerster, Apr 01 '16 at 23:51
