** Description changed: I have a new pc portable acer v3-771g with Win 8 in EFI mode. I have tried Ubuntu 12.04.2 and 13.04. If I don't use the nomodeset code in EFI mode, the system boots into a black screen and to tty1 only (no desktop) with nomodeset. However, when I change the BIOS to boot in the legacy mode , Raring boots to the desktop with the nomodeset parameter but not 12.04.2. I have tried also Fedora 18 and Opensuse 12.3 and the problem is the same except that Opensuse boots in EFI mode with the nomodeset parameter. So I use just Win 8 and Opensuse 12.3 now in EFI mode , but I like very will Ubuntu. How can you help me to install it in the EFI mode??
