I want to dual boot with Xubuntu 15.10 64-bit which I burnt to a USB stick with unetbootin (which I have used to install a different machine, so I know the USB stick works OK). The BIOS is unlocked, so when I power up I can hit F12 during the Dell logo, and enter the boot menu. I pick USB from the Legacy menu, having seen a lot of sites warning against trying to dual-boot install via the UEFI menu. It's sloooooooooooooooooooow. I eventually get the Ubuntu splash screen, then the language-selector OK, and after several more minutes I get the window confirming enough disk space and an Internet connection. I left "Download updates" UNchecked, but I checked the option to install third-party drivers. And clicked Continue. Then it just sits there. Eventually I gave up and held down the power button for long enough to cause an interrupt. I got a lot of console messages showing it trying to do various things with the colord driver and failing, causing successive failures in other bits an pieces it was obviously trying to load. 1. What is it actually trying to do behind the scenes of a GUI install? 2. Is there a way to force it to do an old-style console install? 3. Or should I ignore the warning about UEFI (that it won't see the dual boot nature, and will lose either Windows or Ubuntu or both, and maybe brick the system)? 4. Is it worth it? I can get away without Windows, as I have a Crossover license so I can run Office on the 2-3 occasions in a year that I need to. 5. Is the colord problem related to screen rez or the fact that it's a HDMI connection? Is there an updated way to install on these machines? ///Peter -- xubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> </div>
