Public bug reported:

Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Release:        16.04

After shrinking the windows primary data partition and following
https://github.com/rcasero/doc/wiki/Ubuntu-linux-on-Dell-XPS-15-(9560).
I proceeded with the install to put Ubuntu along side Windows.  The
installer was connected via wifi and told to update as well as
proprietary software.  parted correctly found the EFI system partition.
Ubuntu 17 can install fine but other suspected video issues prevent me
from using it.
