https://www.msi.com/Laptop/GS60-6QE-Ghost-Pro.html#hero-overview

I built the usb installer using Rufus and uNetbootin both. I disabled the Secure boot and fast boot.

The installation goes till the point where i get the option of selecting whether to install ubuntu or run it without installing screen. Whatever option i choose, the installation gets stuck at the next screen which is the loading screen with just the Ubuntu and .... being displayed. Please help with what i am doing wrong.

This is an issue with NVIDIA graphics in Ubuntu 15.10 and above. To install, you need to add a special boot flag.

When the GRUB menu comes up, highlight Try Ubuntu and press E. At the end of the line beginning with linux, put nouveau.modeset=0. Press F10 to boot and install.

After you install, there are a few other steps you'll want to take to get Ubuntu working.

  • I was able to boot ubuntu with this but the driver i could not run. I tried 343,346,361 etc but nothing seemed to work. Everytime i updated the driver i ran into the login loop and had to again purge everything and do it all over again with other drivers. Any solutions? – disissid Sep 04 '16 at 22:32
  • Check the other answers. Secure Boot needs to be off. I also have a link at the end of my answer in the other Q&A. – TheWanderer Sep 04 '16 at 22:38
