Trouble installing Ub-Studio (any version)

**Durandall** · November 20th, 2019

Don't want to make myself into a storyteller here, but I'll start off by saying I've "dabbled" in Linux, almost specifically Ubuntu for years now. I'm 99% sure my first version was Hardy Heron. So, all I'm saying here is, I've been able to successfully install quite a few distro's with no issues. Recently I was using Manjaro because I'd had better luck setting up plex with it, and steam seamed to work right out of the box. But my focus has changed. Ultimately I'd like to ditch windows all together - for now though, this is what I'm trying to make happen.

Dual boot, Win 10 and Ub-Studio. Windows for plex and gaming, and Ub-Studio for a/v mixing and just generally furthering my linux experience.

Hardware:
AMD FX-8370
Asus 970 Aura MB
Corsair Vengeance 16gb
Asus RX480 Strix
2 separate 250GB SSD's (Not in RAID) - purchased with intent of dual-booting
Storage HDD
BD-Rom Drive

I've had Ub-Studio, Pop_OS!, Manjaro, and elementary installed at one time or the other on this exact hardware, along with Win 10. Lately I've been getting the "black screen" issue. Happened to me with Manjaro AND Ubuntu. I burn an ISO, and after I make my choice to Try, or Install - no matter which selection I choose it goes black.

From here on I'll only mention my Ubuntu problems and things I've tried.

I do the nomodeset "fix" at the selection screen, F6 - and I can install Ubuntu, thing is it seems like my gpu isn't set up as it should be. No audio, HDMI isn't even a choice in the audio mixer. No proprietary drivers are found. This is all when I try 18.04 and newer. Here's something fun. I found an ISO of 17.04, and it installed like a charm. I mean perfectly. I tried to just update to current from that installation and I can't, as it's EOL and the Ubuntu Servers weren't happy about it. I've formatted my Linux drive and I'm going to do another fresh install of 19.10 - hopefully you guys can get me set up.

OH! - if I try installing from a DVD, it crashes at the end. Fails to write grub to sda. I mean, no big deal I guess... but that doesn't happen if I make a USB with Rufus, just thought I'd mention it.

My PC's BIOS has secure boot set to "Other OS" - I created my USB Boot stick following Ubuntu's guide.

I'll update once I have the installation complete. Thanks for reading/helping. Any links to posts that have may help are also appreciated.

I am curious what's changed, though. Why is every Linux distro I try "black screening" on me? Seemingly out of nowhere.

Please use code tags - if you are using New Reply button - highlight text and use the # button in the text box header.

If using Quick Reply then [code] at the beginning and [/code] at the end.

The hardware looks fine.

Ubuntu Studio is built upon the low-latency kernel. Do you see any difference when comparing a Studio install to installing one of the other Buntus?

**Durandall** · November 23rd, 2019

I apologize for not using code tags. I don't really post to forums often and didn't know how. Thank you for the instructions.

**Durandall** · November 23rd, 2019

I've only ever tried Studio, and vanilla Ubuntu - as far as downloading and installing is concerned. Usually, and now, actually - I have Studio installed and I'm kind of going between xfce, budgie, and gnome to see which environment I favor the most. I've tried derivatives such as Pop_os! and elementary - outside of Ubuntu flavors, I've tried manjaro.

My guess, for what it's worth - is the kernel. Since my fresh install I updated the kernel and now have the most recent stable (non-LL) kernel following this guide ->https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/1...kernel-in.html

Same issue continues, black screen after grub selection.

If I do a fresh install of older linux OS's, including studio and vanilla - everything is working fine. I can't update to current. So, I guess tonight I'm going to try and install an older kernel on my installed version and see if that works.

**Durandall** · November 24th, 2019

I've just tried 4.20.17, 4.18 - both in generic and low latency. Same result. Is it possible 19.10 isn't compatible with older kernels? I'll install 18.04 LTS and troubleshoot from there.
