Jérémie, as per https://www.asus.com/us/ROG-Republic-Of-Gamers/ROG-
GL752VW/HelpDesk_Download/ an update to your computer's buggy and
outdated BIOS is available (210). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not.
3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Installation Ubuntu 15.10 crash (asus GL752VW)

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hello

  I just bought a asus laptop (GL752VW-T4005T), and I tried to install
  ubuntu 15.10, but the installation crashed.

  I can boot correctly and choose with grud to install ubuntu or to try it. But shorter after I choose one option, the installation crash.
  It's kind of random , sometime it's immediatly (black screen), sometime, some lines are displayed, sometime i can reach the selection of language, but i never could go further.

  I try many different things (liveCD, usbCD, with UEFI (with secureboot
  or without), in legacy mod, with or wothiout fast boot, I also
  disabled fastboot in windows 10, i try with a minimal image disk in
  command line, and it also crash at the language seclection in the best
  case, and i also try to boot with the nomodeset option for the kernel.

  However, I could install ubuntu 14.04.03 without any trouble (the only thing that I noticed is that my touchpad does not work)
  I installed it in dual boot (with grub reusing the UEFI boot partition of windows 10 in the SSD). I let windows alone in my SSD and ubuntu is installed in the HDD.

  You can find my boot-info here if needed:
  http://paste.ubuntu.com/14208400/

  On the french forum, someone make me notice that a big difference
  between ubuntu 14.04 and ubuntu 15.10 is that ubuntu 14.04 uses
  systemd. Yet, I don't know if it the bug is coming from that ..

  I can conduct more test if needed.

  Edit: also, i tried to upgrade from an installation of ubuntu 14.04 to
  ubuntu 15.10, and he does the upgrade, but destroy my system (upgrade
  crash at the end, kernel panic after a reboot, etc...)

  Also, I could boot on the live cd of mint 17.3, which is based on ubuntu 14.04
