Ubuntu 18 install failed, MSI B350 main board, Couldn't get UEFI db list

[ascii1011]

Hi all,

I have a similar issue.

Trying to install Ubuntu 18.04 with a MSI Tomahawk b350 board + Geforce CTX 1050 video card and getting something like this:

Couldn't get size: ...
MODSIGN: Couldn't get UEFI db list
Couldn't get size: ...

ubuntu splash screen comes up, goes through changing 7 of the dots under the ubuntu logo to white... then freezes and keyboard stops working...

I have tried all combinations for boot sequence and have no "secure boot" options... and the manual seems to be fairly useless as usual

I was previously able to install Ubuntu 16.04... can't remember what previous incantation I performed to get it to install... these companies are driving me crazy with the complexity of os installs now...


Thank you and Any help would be greatly appreciated

With nVidia you need nomodeset boot parameter.
At grub menu you can use e for edit, scroll to linux line and replace quiet splash with nomodeset.
How to set NOMODESET and other kernel boot options in grub2 - both BIOS liveCD & grub first boot ( also UEFI with grub)
How to add boot parameters, grub menu after install (also grub when UEFI)

Have you updated UEFI from MSI for your motherboard?
