I'm having trouble with installing 'Ubuntu desktop 18.04 LTS' on my new computer. It has no OS, and I was attempting to install Ubuntu via USB.

After selecting 'Try Ubuntu without installing' at grub, the screen turns black, unable to check the installation process. I even tried adding nomodeset behind quiet splash with no avail.

Now I'm wondering whether it's the motherboard/graphic-card problem. Below is my computer's spec. Any advice would be helpful!

=================================

cpu : intel core i9-7960x

motherboard : asus tuf x299 mark1

graphic-card : geforce gtx 1650 udv oc d5 4gb

    nomodeset should work. Make sure you edited correctly and you can even try it instead of "quiet splash" as it may show error messages that wouldn't otherwise appear. Please [edit] your question accordingly. –  May 09 '19 at 09:29
  • When you boot you Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (yy.mm in format being the year.month of release) a person-in-circle & keyboard-in-rectangle appear, press a key at that point, then select check-install-media to ensure the download & write to thumb-drive was flawless. It's good insurance in my opinion, and what I'd do first. – guiverc May 09 '19 at 09:46
  • @guiverc Useful advice but the animation you mentioned only appears in BIOS/Legacy. The OP is clearly booting in UEFI mode (as it should be). The option to check media should appear in the menu as well though. –  May 09 '19 at 09:51

I have no idea why, but I solved the problem by installing ubuntu 1.9.04, not 1.8.04 LTS version....

Doesn't the 2 have the same system requirement?? I swear the nomodeset didn't work with the 1.8.04 LTS image....
