I'm trying to install Ubuntu 18 LTS on an LG Gram 17 laptop. I created a bootable USB with the Ubuntu 18 image. I disabled already secure boot and also removed signatures (I think it is called setup mode). And the problem is that I'm always getting the same result, unable to install Ubuntu:
Failed to open \EFI\BOOT\NULL - Not found
Failed to load \EFI\BOOT\NULL: Not found
start_image() returned Not Found
I've tried many different ways to generate the image, from Windows 10, from Ubuntu 18 itself, using different images... hence I don't think that is the problem. I think it is a configuration on my computer, but I not able to fix this issue even searching these specific strings.
Thanks for helping me!
When exactly are you getting these messages? How are you preparing the bootable USB? – gronostaj – 2019-11-12T19:27:00.103
@Beto Aveiga Installation, as per Canonical, Ubuntu's publishers, is typically done following these instructions on another Linux PC https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu#0 or on a Windows PC https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#0 . Once you make a LiveUSB, install it following these steps https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-install-ubuntu-desktop#0.

Both boot images worked at some point, with specific BIOS config (disabling secure Boot and other stuff) but they aren't working now. – Beto Aveiga – 2019-11-20T15:26:10.467
@gronostaj last bootable USB with Budgie worked although I chose "try Ubuntu", but then due to an ACPI error, I wasn't able to even try it, my laptop was freeze. Then I reboot, without any BIOS change, not a single change, but the USB stopped working. – Beto Aveiga – 2019-11-20T15:29:09.290
I'm having the same problem trying to install from a usb stick - the splash screen shows those three error lines lines in the upper corner and then boots into windows. How did you get past it? – Coleman – 2019-11-23T18:29:19.543
@BetoAveiga what was the "other stuff" you did to get the pc to boot from usb? – Coleman – 2019-11-23T21:01:52.720
