    This is what I had to do to trial Ubuntu 15.10 from a Live USB. You must do (at least the first two of) these in order. I will update...

    [ubuntu] Re: Launch from install media fails - 15.10

    Woohoo!

    The combination of

    i915.preliminary_hw_support=1

    [ubuntu] Re: Launch from install media fails - 15.10

    Thanks, oldfred! It is indeed a Skylake

    I'll keep this as an expectation going forward, but as of now, neither nomodeset nor i915.preliminary_hw_support=1 (or both) seems to help with this...

    I've confirmed that setting the "nomodeset" kernel boot option does not solve this problem

    Also confirmed that the Scroll Lock and Pause/Break buttons do not help in reading the error messages

    Other symptoms


    running hot
    fan ran more often, and at higher intensity
    high CPU usage from Xorg (often 40-70% of a CPU (in top))

    allahubuntu -

    Thanks very much for your replies!

    I'm not at all sure the CPU isn't overheating... the fan vents aren't immaculate, but they're not blocked.

    [SOLVED] Re: usb install failed(?), but installed wubi?

    Ok, I'm going to try to repartition and do a normal install.

    If I run into problems, I'll go to wubi with the .iso in the same directory.
