** Tags added: apport-collected raring staging ** Description changed:
When I try to install Ubuntu 13.04 on a new Asus ZenBook Prime UX31A from june 2013, grub will come up bit every option such as Installation, Live and Check disc result in a blank screen. 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.
