Title:
Blank screen when booting from installation DVD
Status in “shim” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
I recently got a new laptop (ASUS N56VB) with Windows8 pre-installed.
I followed the guide available at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI (i.e., disabling FastBoot).
With SecureBoot still enabled, the 64bit DVD started fine, presenting
me with a GRUB-like screen. When choosing "Try Ubuntu", the screen
went blank. No error message, no warning, nothing. After disabling
SecureBoot, I got the message "Secure boot disabled", but "Try Ubuntu"
worked as expected.
BTW: I even tried gfxmode=text, in case it was a problem with the
video mode, but to no avail.
