I am attempting to set up dual-boot Ubuntu on my 2016 Blade 14".

I am booting from a USB stick. It makes it past GRUB into the Ubuntu boot process, and then hangs. I have tried with Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 as well as the latest Linux Mint (all 64-bit versions). All have the same result.

I am attaching a screen photo of the dmsg output from booting Ubuntu 16.04. (cross posted to Razer forums)

That's a "nouveau" problem, the nvidia open source driver causing this problem. if you add nouveau.modeset=0 as a boot-up kernel perimeter it will boot with the intel card only which will allow you to install the proprietary nvidia driver. I have the same laptop and had the same issue in Fedora and this fixed the problem for me.

As for now it look like the kernel and drivers delivered with Ubuntu 16.04 are to old for your Laptop.

We may can work around it but that requires some hardware details.

For further information I need to know the content for your grub.cfg or the output of:

cat /proc/cmdline
