Jan 31, 2018 - Dell Latitude/Inspiron/Precision/XPS - Clover Guide BIOS: Set to Default, apply, then set SATA Operations to AHCI, set Boot List Option to UEFI. Tutorial for a full working Mac OS Mojave (10.14.x) enviroment on the Dell XPS 15 (9550) - wmchris/DellXPS15-9550-OSX. I have been trying to install Ubuntu on my new laptop: • Dell XPS 15 (9570) • Windows 10 Home 64bit English • 8th Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8750H Processor (9M Cache, up to 4.1 GHz, 6 cores) • 16GB, 2x8GB, DDR4, 2666MHz • 256GB M.2 2280 PCIe Solid State Drive • NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GTX 1050Ti with 4GB GDDR5 I began by trying to install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS using an 8GB USB drive. The first issue I ran into was getting frozen on the bootup screen on the fourth dot. After a couple tries, I plugged in my monitor (through HDMI) and it stopped getting stuck all of a sudden. Next, I tried to go through the installation and when I clicked on restart now, my computer froze and I had to shut it down manually and start it back up again. At this point I got to the login screen and logged in but after entering my password it got stuck on a purple screen with my mouse pointer (which was frozen). I was able to get into a shell at this point (with ctrl+ alt+ f4) and attempted to run sudo apt-get install nvidia-390 but this froze when it reached building initial module for 4.15.0-22-generic and upon reboot I had to run sudo dpkg --remove -a. I was unable to work around this so I attempted to install Ubuntu 16.04 which I could only do by adding acpi=off to the boot configuration (which by the way, I had a lot of trouble getting to since GRUB usually flashed in and then immediately disappeared and only occasionally would it stick around long enough for me to use). But when I try to boot up now, I never reach the screen with the five dots and instead immediately get stuck on a purple screen (with no mouse pointer). I reinstalled Ubuntu 18.04 and am back to being stuck on the log-in screen. What should I do? Have you updated UEFI from Dell? ![]() Eetchi elumichi theme song. Even if new computer there may be newer UEFI. And did you turn RAID off and change drives to AHCI. But be sure to add AHCI driver into Windows first. Also turn off fast boot in UEFI so you have time to press keys when booting. You will need nomodeset to boot until you get newest nVidia driver installed. Do not download from Dell, but use ppa. Dell XPS 13 9360 16.04 worked after nvme firmware & BIOS update, 16.10 did not, new rEFInd for NVMe – May 31 '18 at 20:45 •. I've summarized all of this into a blog post I struggled with this as well. What ended up working for me is as follows, note I installed Ubuntu 18.04: • Follow the first part of this doc - in regards to bios settings and changing the windows partition from raid to ahci. This will allow you to boot the live CD. Note, I did end up having to enter my windows key to unlock the drive after I did this to get back into windows. • Install Ubuntu normally. • JackJack96 did a fabulous job scripting all setup and package installation steps here. The primary purpose of those scripts is to generate an image with the packages already installed, but he does provide a script to set things up on a existing installation. After you boot for the first time, open terminal and run the following: sudo apt install curl sudo bash -c '$(curl -fsSL sudo prime-select intel This forces the use of the intel integrated graphics, no need to waste battery. I have not tested running the nvidia card. If you want to, run: sudo prime-select nvidia • The last issue I ran into was the screen would start flickering. I solved this by changing the resolution to 2048 x 1152 and setting the refresh rate to 59.91. At first I did have it set at 3840 x 1152, with the lowest refresh rate, but it was still a little unstable, so I dropped the resolution.
