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?? + 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. + WORKAROUND: In Raring, change the BIOS to boot in Legacy mode. - Motherboard: - CPU Type Mobile DualCore Intel Core i5-3230M, 2700 MHz (27 x 100) - Motherboard Name Acer Aspire V3-771 - Motherboard Chipset Intel Panther Point HM77, Intel Ivy Bridge - System Memory 3914 MB (DDR3-1600 DDR3 SDRAM) - DIMM1: SK Hynix HMT451S6MFR8C-PB 4 GB DDR3-1600 DDR3 SDRAM (11-11-11-28 @ 800 MHz) (10-10-10-27 @ 761 MHz) (9-9-9-24 @ 685 MHz) (8-8-8-22 @ 609 MHz) (7-7-7-19 @ 533 MHz) (6-6-6-16 @ 457 MHz) (5-5-5-14 @ 380 MHz) - BIOS Type Unknown - - - DMI: - DMI BIOS Vendor - DMI BIOS Version - DMI System Manufacturer Acer - DMI System Product Aspire V3-771 - DMI System Version V2.13 - DMI System Serial Number NXM6PEF006249021A07200 - DMI System UUID 000A3BAF-45CC5C81-33D37054-D24B63F2 - DMI Motherboard Manufacturer Acer - DMI Motherboard Product VA70_HC - DMI Motherboard Version Type2 - Board Version - DMI Motherboard Serial Number NBM6P1100124705D5D7200 - DMI Chassis Manufacturer Chassis Manufacturer - DMI Chassis Version Chassis Version - DMI Chassis Serial Number Chassis Serial Number - DMI Chassis Asset Tag - DMI Chassis Type Notebook - DMI Total / Free Memory Sockets 4 / 3 - --- + --- ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu8.1 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: - USER PID ACCESS COMMAND - /dev/snd/controlC0: sasdsky 1701 F.... pulseaudio + USER PID ACCESS COMMAND + /dev/snd/controlC0: sasdsky 1701 F.... pulseaudio DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=ed003934-173d-4035-8930-e8009a1f6fc8 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-06-03 (55 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Release amd64 (20130424) MachineType: Acer Aspire V3-771 MarkForUpload: True Package: linux (not installed) ProcFB: 0 VESA VGA ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.8.0-26-generic root=UUID=755018a9-6de4-46fa-aa8c-c0004515c089 ro nomodeset locale=zh_CN quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-26.38-generic 3.8.13.2 RelatedPackageVersions: - linux-restricted-modules-3.8.0-26-generic N/A - linux-backports-modules-3.8.0-26-generic N/A - linux-firmware 1.106 + linux-restricted-modules-3.8.0-26-generic N/A + linux-backports-modules-3.8.0-26-generic N/A + linux-firmware 1.106 Tags: raring Uname: Linux 3.8.0-26-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo WifiSyslog: - + dmi.bios.date: 11/13/2012 dmi.bios.vendor: Insyde Corp. dmi.bios.version: V2.13 dmi.board.asset.tag: Type2 - Board Asset Tag dmi.board.name: VA70_HC dmi.board.vendor: Acer dmi.board.version: Type2 - Board Version dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Chassis Manufacturer dmi.chassis.version: Chassis Version dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnInsydeCorp.:bvrV2.13:bd11/13/2012:svnAcer:pnAspireV3-771:pvrV2.13:rvnAcer:rnVA70_HC:rvrType2-BoardVersion:cvnChassisManufacturer:ct10:cvrChassisVersion: dmi.product.name: Aspire V3-771 dmi.product.version: V2.13 dmi.sys.vendor: Acer ** Summary changed: - System boots into a black screen in EFI mode, but desktop loads normally in legacy mode + [Acer Aspire v3-771g] System boots into a black screen in EFI mode, but desktop loads normally in legacy mode ** Tags removed: kernel-bug-exists-upstream ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream-v3.10-rc3 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1184650 Title: [Acer Aspire v3-771g] System boots into a black screen in EFI mode, but desktop loads normally in legacy mode Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have a new pc portable acer v3-771g with Win 8 in EFI mode.
