[Bug 1200986] Re: Ubuntu live USB will not boot on Asus 1015e in UEFI mode

 

Just try the default process with the latest nightly build of Ubuntu Saucy amd64:
1. Made a bootable USB from ISO
2. Start EeePC 1015e hitting Escape
3. Chose "UEFI Generic Flash Disk"
4. Grib starts, and I select "Try Ubuntu without Installing"
5. Got blank (black) screen immediatly and nothing more is happening.

Title:
  Ubuntu live USB will not boot on Asus 1015e in UEFI mode

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I recently got an Asus 1015e laptop and I cannot get a live USB to
  boot in UEFI mode. When I try to boot it I get to the Grub menu, but
  after selecting an option it just hangs at a blank screen. It looks
  like it doesn't loading anything, even the kernel. It just hangs
  immediately. The only way I've been able to get it to boot is to
  disable Secure Boot and enable CSM (legacy BIOS support) but this
  won't play nicely with a Windows 8 dual boot. I've tested with 13.04
  and the 7-11-13 saucy daily image. The hardware details are here
