Ubuntu on Acer Spin1 (Apollo Lake)
Hello,
I have tried to boot Ubuntu 16.10/17.04 (the latest daily build with kernel 4.10) on my Acer Spin1 (CPU: Apollo Lake Intel Celeron N3450/GPU: Intel HD Graphics 500/BIOS: InsydeH20 Setup Utility Rev. 5.0, Version: 1.01/RAM: 4GB/HDD: eMMC 32GB) but I had no luck with it. Originally there was Windows 10 installed but I formatted HDD with the Arch linux (the only one linux distribution which I was able to boot and run properly). What have I tried:
- disabled Secure Boot option in BIOS
- added an UEFI file as trusted for executing from the USB with installed Ubuntu in BIOS
- created bootable USB with rufus or directly from a computer with Ubuntu installed
The problem is when I try to boot the Ubuntu from USB I only see white underscore character (_) in the upper-left corner and Acer logo in the middle of the screen. Personally, I have no idea how I can boot and install Ubuntu on the Acer Spin1 properly. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide (sorry for my English).
