My laptop is Fujitsu AH532 Lifebook. I'm trying to clean install Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS on my laptop with a failed Nvidia GPU, however I want to run it with Intel HD graphics, how do I reconfigure it? Whenever I try to install it, it says "xorg failed to idle channel 2" after that "The system is running in low-graphics mode, after that everything goes blank. I tried everything that's already on the net. None of these work.
System Specs: i3-3110m Intel HD 4000 Nvidia GT 620m (failed) 8GB Ram
At the grub boot selection screen tap e and place the kernel parameter nomodeset on the line that begins with linux the order of these parameters doesn't really matter, but to avoid confusion I would place it between the quiet and splash parameters preserving the spaces between the parameters.
Having edited the boot command line you can now hit F10 to boot with the modified parameters, then follow the directions to install Ubuntu, and remove the installation media when prompted. You should now be able to boot into your newly installed system normally.
If anything about this answer is unclear, drop me a comment and I'll do my best to clarify.
