[MSI GE60] Black screen in live cd

[Krzysztof Waszak]

On my MSI GE60 when I want to install in UEFI/Legacy linux I get a blackscreen. It is bug which works also on other distro like Debian etc. The only distro which works is arch.

Can you see if this issue also happens with the latest development release? It can be downloaded from:

[Krzysztof Waszak (kwaszak67)]

It also happen.

My configuration is
MSI GE60 2OE
Intel i7-4700MQ
Nvidia Optimus: Intel HD 4600 + Nvidia Geforce GTX 765m

Flags like nomodeset dont solve this problem. And i have no problemo with Arch.

Krzysztof Waszak, could you please provide the information following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelBoot ?

[Krzysztof Waszak (kwaszak67)]

I am trying but it doesnt work.
All time light on my USB drive immediately turns off, with no further output to the screen when i am trying anything.
The only thing that works is grub comandline. Other options even if add all this flags ends as i said.

[Krzysztof Waszak (kwaszak67)]

I can't disable my graphics card in bios. MSI limit options in bios. I can change uefi settings and etc but i dont have access to settings connected with GPU.

I tried to symulate error on VM but everything works.

Krzysztof Waszak, thank you for providing the requested information. Would any of the prior release (ex. Raring, Quantal, or Precise) allow you to boot via http://releases.ubuntu.com/ ?

I had a blackscreen issue after Grub boot menu when tried to install Ubuntu 13.10 x64 from LiveCD.

In my case the problem was solved by ENABLING Secure Boot.
I have successfully installed the above OS alongside with pre-installed Windows 8 and now I have dual-boot system.

Other settings:
Intel SpeedStep = DISABLED
Fast Boot = DISABLED
Boot Mode = UEFI

Screenshots with my working CMOS settings can be seen here: http://goo.gl/N7uCJh

I will try atm i can't enable secure boot. I don't why but i will try your settings.

[Krzysztof Waszak (kwaszak67)]

I can't boot linux on secure boot enable. I am getting error that is invalid signature.
I use windows 8.1 and Msi GE60-02E i copied your settings but it didn't help me.

[mr Sergey (axentic)]

Did you update BIOS? You can see on one of my screenshots BIOS and FW version numbers. Laptop MSI GE60-0ND. Ubuntu does have a valid x.509 certificate for their boot loader, but it's up to MSI to add it into their BIOS KEK.
