I have a Zenbook UX302LA with Win8 pre-installed that I bought new in the summer of 2014. I now want to dual-boot it with Linux Ubuntu 14.04. I can get it to boot no problem off of the live USB with the following steps:

  • Disabled SecureBoot in BIOS
  • Disabled FastBoot
  • Boot flag nomodeset

I am about to install Ubuntu on a 22GB partition I have created on the 500GB HDD. However before I install this I have a few questions:

  1. Will there be a way to fix the nomodeset issue or at least some opportunity to type it in before every boot?
  2. Also if I install it like this, will I have a successfully dual booted machine as in the bootloaders will not be messed up and I'll be able to pick which ever partition I want to boot to?

Ubuntu: 14.04
Hardware: Asus Zenbook UX302LA
Dual-boot: Windows 8

Always take a full system back-up before starting. Read this article why.

  1. Yes
  2. Depending on the set-up of your machine's BIOS/UEFI and the setup of Windows 8: maybe
