I also managed to install with these same "nomodeset pci=nommconf" but it is pretty unstable.
As I saw "systemd[1170]: Failed to start GNOME Shell on Wayland" in "journalctl -b", I uncommented "WaylandEnable=false" in "/etc/gdm3/custom.conf". I was having black screen on boot, being able to enter CTRL+ALT+F3 though. Here is the "journalctl -b" with "WaylandEnable=false" ** Attachment added: "journalctl-log.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1852636/+attachment/5305967/+files/journalctl-log.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852636 Title: Cannot install any release on HP Omen 17-cb0013nm Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I tried all sorts of combinations to install 18.04.3, 19.10, 20.04 on my new laptop https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/omen-by- hp-17-cb0000-laptop-pc/26122176/document/c06411586. baseboard: HP 8603 45.38 I tried updating BIOS: from AMI F.15 to AMI F.16 (9/5/2019 - latest).
