2018-11-09 18:25:19 Joey van Hummel description When installing ubuntu 18.10 on my tablet-PC, the grub installer causes kernel messages to appear and then hangs indefinitely. I've done some research and found that Grub apparently doesn't play well with Apollo Lake based (tablet) PC's, but can't find a bug report on here. I've used the "sudo ubuntu-bug -w" command to report this bug. I realise this is probably not a lot to go on, but I'm not afraid to get a little hands-on and do more investigative work per your instructions / suggestions. As a sidenote, I also tried installing Elementary OS, which runs into the same issue but at least reports that there was an issue. Ubiquity on 18.10 simply hangs flat out.
