  beta2 installation interface freezes after load

Bug description:
  Beforehand, I'd like to apologize if I'm reporting something
  inconsistent, but I believe that somehow what I'm reporting can be
  useful.

  I've been testing bionic Ubuntu since before the first alphas, so the
  first bionic installation iso came out at "http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
  /daily-live/" I've already downloaded, installed and used it (on my
  computer (at my own risk, of course)).

  The problem is that all this time I installed and removed a lot of
  things so that my ubuntu got a bit messy. So I decided to take
  advantage of the beta2 release to perform a fresh re-installation.

  The problem is that I have been trying this with the "isos" available
  at "http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/" from 2018-04-04, 2018-04-07
  and today, 2018-04 -08 ... and, in all cases, after burning the
  pendrive and start the installation process, as soon as the system
  finishes loading the graphical installation interface (be it "try
  ubuntu without installing" or "Install ubuntu") , it freezes, leaving
  only the mouse pointer working. I have to turn off the computer on the
  button to be able to reboot.

  My computer is a dell inspiron 7000 series gaming notebook with the
  following configuration of video cards:

  $ lspci -k | grep -A 2 -i "VGA"
  00: 02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 591b (rev 04)
  Subsystem: Dell Device 0798
  Kernel driver in use: i915
  -
  01: 00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile] (rev a1)
  Subsystem: Dell GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile]
  Kernel driver in use: nvidia

  This weekend I have read many articles from people who have been able
  to install bionic beta2 normally, so I think my problem is related to
  my hardware. So I decided to report this bug for informational
  purposes only.
