I'm trying to install Ubuntu 16.04.2 on my desktop computer on a separate hard drive which I bought for this sole purpose. The first hard drive contains windows 10. In order to do so, I formatted the disk via the Ubuntu installer which I have loaded on an USB stick. I followed the following guide (including the optional boot-partition step, I also tried the optional var and tmp-partition): https://askubuntu.com/a/343352
More specifically, these are the exact options I chose:
Options at the beginning:
Swap partition:
Root:
Home:
Everything together + bootloader:
Perhaps I should mention that at the beginning of everything, when I start the Ubuntu installer from the disk (so before all of these options), I get the following screen briefly before the Ubuntu installer loads:
After installing, when I start up the computer I reach the grub menu. I launch Ubuntu from there, which takes me to a very dark purple screen with nothing on it. After some time, my monitor switches to screen saver. Nothing happens then.
My hardware specs are the following:
- Samsung SSD 960 EVO M2
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
- AMD Ryzen 7 1700
- 32 GB RAM
- ROG CROSSHAIR VI HERO Mainboard
Can someone help me?
