I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a new Asus laptop and not having much success. Or more precisely I can install it easily enough but cannot access it once installed.
I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 Beta because of its new kernel which should give me access to all my hardware, so I'm mindful that might be an issue, but I'm hoping someone has seen something like this before and knows the workaround.
Before I started I reduced the Windows partition size down to create space for Ubuntu. From Windows I then reboot to a USB key with Ubuntu on it, I then boot into Ubuntu Live desktop and run the installer. I proceed through the installation without issues and reboot. At which point Windows boots - there's no grub, no option to do anything else.
If I go into the BIOS (UEFI laptop settings) I can force it to boot from Ubuntu, but that just gets me a blank screen on boot (no grub, nothing past the Asus boot logo).
If I boot back into Ubuntu via the USB stick and install and run boot repair, it gives me no repair option to try (first time I've seen that: the repair button is just missing).
Thoughts?
The laptop is for my wife and she's used Ubuntu for the last few years with no issues, so I'm reluctant to send her back to Windows even temporarily.
I can try 19.10 if anyone thinks that might be the issue, but the fact that even boot repair doesn't give me any options makes me think this is a UEFI/Windows issue not an installer one.
