I’ve been with Ubuntu for a while, and after hearing about the switch off of Unity desktop, I decided to go ahead and dual boot with Ubuntu MATE on my new laptop (which has only had Windows 10 on it). I was hoping to dual boot between the two. I downloaded the ISO titled “ubuntu-mate-16.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso”, burned it to a USB stick with Rufus, shrunk my Windows partition, and rebooted into the USB stick. I was put into the GRUB boot menu with the normal options )try Ubuntu MATE without installing, Install Ubuntu MATE, etc.) and selected the “Try Ubuntu Mate” option (to set it up properly with the dual-boot). However, I am met with the following two errors (which are precceeded by some more text which I haven’t been able to copy down in time).
failed to create resource 1
failed to create platform: -16
It then shows the Ubuntu MATE loading graphic for a few seconds before going to a massive wall of repeating text and I have to force shutdown. I checked, and my old Ubuntu ISO which worked on my old PC also no longer functions on this new one. Google yielded no helpful results. Is there anything I’m doing wrong? Here’s my technical information:
