| xu-help39w | Hi, I am trying to install xubuntu on my older Elitebook 745 laptop. The install goes smoothly and works fine. After it is finished, I restart my laptop and the system won't boot. It keeps going back to the manufacturer logo. If I set direct boot from my hard drive, I get a black screen with flashing white lines, similiar to those, which appear | 22:05 |
| xu-help39w | with a broken GPU. I can access my bios, I can go into Try Xubuntu session and it works. | 22:05 |
| xu-help39w | This is my first time dealing with a different OS and I am completely lost. Any suggestions? | 22:05 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | xu-help39w, are you still here? | 22:13 |
| xu-help39w | Yep | 22:15 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | and you are no longer here. | 22:16 |
| xu-help39w | Ive also noticed that if I start pressing buttons the output on my screen changes so Im guessing its not just blurred lines but some sort of GPu related bug | 22:22 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | xu-help39w, what system was running on that machine before you intalled Xubuntu? | 22:23 |
| xu-help39w | Win10 | 22:24 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | and? did it have any GPU related issues? | 22:24 |
| xu-help39w | No, it was completely fine. I was using it today | 22:25 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | ok now let's first start with the very beginning, how did you write the Xubuntu ISO to the USB drive? using rufus? | 22:26 |
| xu-help39w | I used balenaetcher | 22:29 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | that's good, then let's get to the next step, go to BIOS > Boot section, take a pic, upload it to imgur.com and share the url with us. | 22:30 |

| diogenes_Vx15 | xu-help39w, try to place 'Boot from EFI file' as the first boot option. | 22:37 |
| xu-help39w | I cant change the positon there. I can only change the priority in bios, however I have already set my disk to be at the top. | 22:39 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | xu-help39w, ok then as soon as the PC starts, keep pressing either f12 or ESC, you need to get to the boot menu and pick the option to boot from EFI File. | 22:41 |
| xu-help39w | Okay, for some reason it is working now. Ive ready tries that but couldnt get it working, I guess my previous installation was corrupted. Thanks a lot! | 22:44 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | no problem. | 22:44 |
