Public bug reported: Ubuntu will not boot on my ASUS UX501VW-FJ045T, no matter what options I try to use in GRUB.
I tried NOMODESET, NOAPIC, NOLAPIC but it all fails and I end up with an endless loading splash screen. I disabled the splashscreen deleting the SPASH option in GRUB, and I could see that the system hangs when trying to detect the GPU(s) showing the message: "A start job is running for detect the available GPUs and deal with any system changes " The laptop features Optimus technology, with an Intel HD Graphics 530 and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M You can see the error in the picture attached to the report. Ubuntu version: UBUNTU GNOME 17.04 X64 I am more than willing to help with this with further testing or information, if needed Thank you! ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: boot freeze hang linux optimus ** Attachment added: "Failing boot" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1692305/+attachment/4880652/+files/Ubuntu_17.04_64x_Failing_boot%5B1%5D.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1692305 Title: Ubuntu will not boot on ASUS Zenbook UX501VW-FJ045T Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Ubuntu will not boot on my ASUS UX501VW-FJ045T, no matter what options I try to use in GRUB.
