Hey all,
I am trying to install Ubuntu MATE 15.04 64-Bit and it freezes at the loading screen with the colored dots (right after selecting “Try without installing” or “Install Ubuntu”). Google offered no solutions other than maybe something about existing partitions on the hd causing issues.
I’m booting from a USB stick using EFI on an ASUS laptop.
here are the specs:
OS Name Microsoft Windows 8.1 with Bing
Version 6.3.9600 Build 9600
Other OS Description Not Available
OS Manufacturer Microsoft Corporation
System Name SLUG
System Manufacturer ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.

System Type x64-based PC

BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc. X453MA.209, 7/9/2014
SMBIOS Version 2.8

Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.
Cheers
