Public bug reported:
I bought a new PC a yesterday, an ASUS Q500A laptop. I've been trying to
get Ubuntu on it, but both 12.10 and 12.04 fail to boot.
When booting, I have tried several boot flags to no avail. I never get
the purple Ubuntu splash screen (where you can hit a key and edit boot
options) when booting. When booting natively, I get a black boot screen
that has the "try", "install", "OEM install", and "check disc" options.
After selecting "Try" it boots to a black screen. Never does anything
else. None of the boot parameters that I've tried so far have any
effect.
I haven't been able to pin down exactly what is going on, but would
definitely like some tips on how to debug this further so the issue can
be fixed.
Specs about the computer:
Intel i5-3210M processor
Intel HD Graphics 4000
6GB dual channel DDR3 800MHz memory (2x3GB)
