I have an Acer Swift 3 SF314-41 laptop that I am trying to install Ubuntu on using the live USB (Ubuntu hasn't been previously installed).
The bootloader screen shows up normally and I am able to select "Ubuntu" option. The Acer and Ubuntu logo shows up and there is a little loading circle. However, around 30 seconds in, the screen just freezes and I can't do anything unless I restart the computer.
I have tried disabling splash and quiet in GRUB in order to view the logs while Ubuntu is trying to boot. It hangs on two start jobs: "A start job is running for monitoring of LVM2 mirrors...", and "A start job is running for Wait for udev to complete device initialization". And I expected it to give some error but the command line ended up freezing as well.
System specs:
- Ryzen 5 3500U with Vega 8 graphics
- 10 GB RAM
- 512GB SSD
I have tried:
- nomodeset
- other distros (debian, kubuntu, fedora, opensuse), basically everything has the exact same problem
I am unsure how to proceed from here.
Thank you for your help.
