[Bug 1219102] Re: Cannot update or install Ubuntu 13.10

 

Richard Vajdel, as per http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-
page.aspx?pid=2634#bios an update is available for your BIOS (F8). If
you update to this, does it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

** Description changed:

  In early stages of development of Saucy salamander i haven't any problems with installing 13.10. I was using it for a while  and was waiting for xmir or its parts to come in to daily. Later i tried to update saucy salamander, but after a while my display went black ( like turned off) and pc went silent, but still going. I was like " daily, maybe mistake or something, it will be patched soon or later." Today( after 3 weeks, or month)  I made LiveUSB with daily build of Saucy and tried to did a clear installation. While installing ( like 1-2 minutes of progress) it did the same thing as during the earlier update. Pc just went silent and display was black. My grub was "out." Iam not sure if I am able to obtain some info from that because it was during installation and that testing partition doesn't look well. Even when Ubuntu 13.10 is booted in " try without installing" mode, ubuntu runs just like for 3 minutes.
