Public bug reported: I am using a bootable flash drive made with rufus utility. I tested with normal and uefi start. If I start by default, no video. If I start another session with ctrl-alt-F2 there is no video too, but the computer responds * keyboard lights works.
I have to modify the boot to have video. I use the modifier nomodeset x11 safemode. Now when i start the installer, it hangs on the screen to choose if I want to install third party software and upgrades while the system is installed. I tried to select none or only some of them and I can not move from there. I have tried different applications to create the pendrive. I tried to give install directly, not using the option to try. I tried to start the installer from the terminal. The good issue is that before you could start a live directly without any problem ... I have installed on the computer two Linux, Kubuntu Kubuntu 14.04 and Kubuntu 16 distributions, but now i can not get start to reinstall the system. I tested with Ubuntu, Kubuntu, etc. Maybe is a hardware issue?
