Hello Community I really do not know.
I have bought a notebook and it is without OS (as I wanted it) but now I have difficulties installing Ubuntu (12.04).
So the plan was to install Ubuntu, BUT it always hangs in the selection screen (where to set its language).
In the search for solutions, I also found that in the menu "Boot" no "CSM support" displayed, as well as "Fast Boot". And I get this message shortly before the GNG menu (I do not know exactly the name) of Linux: "kernel: [0.982630] Could not get size: 0x800000000000000e
kernel: [0.982929] MODSIGN: Could not get UEFI db list
kernel: [0.986380] Could not get size: 0x800000000000000e "
and something underneath but that's gone too fast.
I have already used a different stick and also Linux Mint, but it almost always hangs in the loading screen if not shortly thereafter if I can choose my language (waiting does not help…)
You have a notebook (apparently up to date) that is set to UEFI and try with a stick to install a (not so up to date) Ubuntu, where stick and / or Ubuntu are set up for the BIOS mode.
If you still have another computer in the access, re-create the stick with a recent Ubuntu (or equal to a good distribution) for the UEFI Mouds. The current mainstream distributions should also work with activated SecureBoot, but you can still switch off for safety's sake.
Or equal to a good distribution
Why is Ubuntu (for client computers) not a good distribution with a decent configuration?
Everyone is allowed to find out for themselves. If you want more than my opinion ask me a good question. I'm particularly bothered by the implementation of the system administration without root.
Hmm okay. I'm relatively happy with Ubuntu outside of servers: -D
Ubuntu (12.04)
Umm…
This version is almost 7 years old and is no longer supported. This not only means that probably software center no longer works, it would also be security lunacy to use this outdated version.
Also, chances are good that your issue has been resolved with a new release.
=> Take Ubuntu 18.04
You have to disable the UEFI secureboot first. Then you can install Ubuntu from the USB stick. You need the 64bit version. The current stable version is currently the 18.04.
The stick should be created with this tool: https://www.balena.io/...io/etcher/ You still need the Ubuntu ISO: http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso This is the version 18.04 64bit.
And so you create the stick with it:
Insert empty USB stick
Start the tool
Select the Ubuntu ISO
Then select the stick on Select Drive
Click on Flash and the stick will be created
This tool is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. So you can't only create bootable sticks but also Flash operating systems for the Raspberry Pi single-board computer onto a memory card.
