Can't install Ubuntu on a HP DV6 Laptop

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 5856 / 2 Years ago, tue, july 19, 2022, 12:41:30

I just bought a HP DV6 6011tx (link) Laptop. I formated the disk through Windows and prepared for installing Ubuntu. But when I inserted the live CD, it showed the Ubuntu start screen and then everything went black. There was no cursor, everything just stayed black like the screen was switched off (but the system is running).

When I tried to install from the USB, it said Live media is not found. Sometimes it also gave me a black screen like the CD. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Thanks!

I had the same problem with my HP Envy 14.

Press any key when the small logo appears at the bottom to enter the advanced start page.
Then press F6 for other options (but don't select anything), press Esc to return to the Boot Options line. There you should add

radeon.modeset=0

Now you can install Ubuntu and as soon as the screen goes dark simply press the brightness key F3.

Worked for me :)
