I built my own pc. That I would like to install Ubuntu 18.04. I have tried doing the install from dvd plus a flash drive. They both do the same exact thing. I boot from the medium. I get the screen to install or oem for manufactures. I hit enter then I have the word Ubuntu on my screen. With some dots under it. Sits like that for a few. Then nothing my monitor even goes into sleep mode. As there is no signal. My pc has the following Processor AMD Ryzen 5 2600
Motherboard MSI B450 Pro-A
Video Card EVGA GeForce GTX 1050
Memory 16 Gig
The monitor I use is a Dell U2718Q that I have hooked with the hdmi cable. Is there a setting in bios that could make this happen. I don’t get why menu comes up. Then nothing so curious does the monito need be hooked other then hdmi
I will add also I do have windows 10 installed. I do know all my pieces to be working. I’m not looking to dual boot. I’m looking to be entirely Ubuntu.
Just a suggestion but I'd try Linux Peppermint, Mint or Debian since a while back I tried using Ubuntu on usb just for the fun but had nothing but troubles, just a example whenever it went into screensaver mode it was just a black screen and just had too repeatably enter the password until it unlocked. I know the mint's are based on Ubuntu but they ran perfect.
Solved. I had the monitor hooked up with hdmi. Now I hooked up the dp cable instead. When I do my display didn’t go to sleep. Install worked fine. She is up and running. Pass that along for others. Plus who knows maybe both shld be plugged in.
