When done booting, log in (with the username and password you set up earlier) and install the latest updates first. Go back to Linux so we can finish setting up the desktop. You'll notice that grub will be the default boot manager. The guided installer is driven primarily by keyboard input, needs no mice and you won't run into any modesetting issues. The rest should be pretty straight-forward, even if you're new to Linux. This is that 100MB~ partition that the Windows installer creates and is marked as 'SYSTEM RESERVED'. The ESP, where the UEFI-based installation boots from, will also be automatically detected and mounted as needed. The swap partition will be automatically recognized, if you so chose to have one. For the partition designated for root, set its' file-system as ext4, mount point /. Start the Ubuntu server installer as you would, and take note of the custom partitioning settings: The installer will be able to configure it as appropriate (select DHCP, its' the fastest option when you get to that point). It will be listed as "drive-name/partition-number".Īt this point, you'll also want to ensure that you have a plugged in Ethernet cable at the ready.
Therein, go to the exit menu, boot override, and select your flash drive's partition with Linux on it. When done, leave the USB drive plugged in and reboot to your UEFI (firmware settings). If you can get Rufus to work with your flash drives (I had no such luck), you can use that too. Then, create a bootable flash drive using etcher.io. And this is where the alternate ISO comes in. The Ubuntu server image offered on the main download page disallows the use of existing partitions on your SSDs, which could be detrimental if you're dual booting. The desktop edition acts up badly with both the touchpad and external mice, so even if you get to load the live environment (after blacklisting the nouveau driver via the pre-boot grub option blacklist=nouveau), you won't be able to proceed with the next steps such as guided partitioning, etc. The standard Ubuntu 18.04LTS ISOs will not work, for two reasons: Ensure that SATA mode in the BIOS is set strictly to AHCI. Confirm that you're booting in UEFI mode ONLY. Secure boot is disabled (otherwise you won't be able to load up proprietary drivers needed for the Nvidia GPU). Partition them as appropriate, and when done, reboot into the UEFI menu and ensure that: You'll only need two partitions, one for root and optionally, a small one for swap (say, 8GB). If you are dual booting, install Windows first, and partition from there with a tool such as Minitool.
