Im using Windows 8 right now.
When I try to install Ubuntu on my laptop HP Probook 440 G3, it flickers, I use USB to install Ubuntu but it always Flickers.
Hope someone helps.
What kind of flickering? Can you post an image or a video?
during installation, the displays flicker every second, I cant even see the display on my monitor due to flickering.
So, is it something like the whole screen is flashing on and off or just a window? Does this happen under specific circumstances or all the time?
Try to turn xrandr off.
Run these commands:
gsettings set org.mate.SettingsDaemon.plugins.xrandr active false
and
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xrandr active false .
How can i access the command?, sorry if its a noob question
Open the terminal pressing Ctrl+Alt+T, and then just paste the above commands, one at a time and press Enter.
But i cant see the whole screen since it blinks fast,
You can’t interat with the desktop at all??
yes, I cant, I have try the same USB and working fine with the same brand and laptop, same HP Probook 440 G3.
there is something with my laptop, tried it on 2 laptop with different brands, all good. but my laptop is still flickering.
Do you have access to a tty shell, i.e. do you see a terminal if you press Ctrl+Alt+F1?
my friend has the same model and OS installed and working fine, I don’t know why mine is not working.
I can open the grub>
I’m sorry. I cannot further help you. I hope someone else knows how to solve your issue.
Hi @shambles,
boot into recovery mode and run “dpkg” per the update guide (a network cable connection is required!):

Even though the screen flickers do you have a successful install?
Just FYI, there have been many reports of flickering for users of Skylake processors.
See for example Bug #1554613
