I got to install Ubuntu 14.04 in a W541. If you need me to collect some
info from my computer, let me know how and I'll post it here. I set to
legacy only in the bios, disabled virtualization, installed and ran an
update. It's working now

Hippie Hacker, while "bumping" a bug report doesn't provide any value to either
an Incomplete or Expired report, what will is if you filed a new report via a
terminal:

I have a W541 that booted successfully with Ubuntu 15.04. Is there
anything I can do to help those having trouble on this thread? (I didn't
do anything manual, just using the defaults.)

Hi Tobias,
Thanks for your reply!
I tried Ubuntu Server 14.04.3 LTS but it didn't work for a different
reason. I got Failed to load COM32 file gfxboot.c32 and the provided

Hi,
as I wrote somewhere up the thread, you can try to install the server
version (say of the LTS) and then add whatever else you need -- I suppose
this is the best shot and relatively easy. BIOS settings are possibly of
relevance as well (as mentioned in another post up the thread). Good luck!
Same problem here on Lenovo W540. I basically can't install Ubuntu or
Kubuntu on my laptop. I can't have Linux. This is horrible. Are you
telling me I have to live with a laptop with Windows 8? What kind of

Please help. Let me know if there is any
Just a quick question.

I still owe the filing of a bug via 'ubuntu-bug linux'. However, there seem to
be at least two possilbly related other bugs:
1) the blacking out of the screen while starting the live cd: *patience* seems
