This is possibly due to preinstalled Windows 8 and UEFI. I did not approve/accept the Windows 8 installation and that should not matter. I want to install only Ubuntu and *no* dual boot with the preinstalled Windows 8. I want to erase the entire disc in firsts steps of installation procedure. Screenshot illustrating the problem are: http://i.imgur.com/94zPRh5.jpg (ASUS splash screen) http://i.imgur.com/CKJZf6s.jpg (language selection for Windows 8) http://i.imgur.com/2OIGnra.jpg (accept license, which I did not and rebooted with F1/F2) http://i.imgur.com/0l3ZIme.jpg (general BIOS info, I upgrade to latest BIOS) http://i.imgur.com/RtjRraF.jpg (used settings to boot from USB) http://i.imgur.com/Vgb3Xju.jpg (grub which goes to black screen and systems is locked in that state) For more information, see: device information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbookPrime similar problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2149954 UEFI and preinstalled Windwos 8 http://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-installed-uefi-supported-windows-8-system More about EUFI https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI More on installing without WUBI http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/04/wubi-advice Debugging attempts from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Boot_Debugging failed. Perhaps I did something wrong. What are ways to write debug to the screen in my case? And, more importantly, how do I get it working because have the right to install whatever I want? Is the only way to get it installed to accept the Windows 8 license and install Ubuntu from Windows (and in effect making it dual boot which I don't want). Ubuntu should fix this as it is the flagship of a major laptop manufacturer (ASUS) for which Ubuntu is no longer installable. --- ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu8.4 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: sander 2424 F.... pulseaudio DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 EcryptfsInUse: Yes HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=24994e67-9b18-4cad-b387-788beff8b388 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-07-06 (80 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Release amd64 (20130424) MachineType: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
