Thanks to MattDevo I managed to fix the problem by installing his legacy firmware :
https://github.com/MattDevo/scripts He said that there is maybe a bug in Ubuntu because the previous firmware I used from John Lewis doesn't re-run the video BIOS when switching to SeaBIOS. He'd guess it has to do with the way JL's SeaBIOS reuses the existing framebuffer vs re-initializing using the VGA BIOS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1530530 Title: Installer doesn't show up on some Chromebook To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1530530/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
