I got it working, here's what I did:

1. Booted the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS live USB by setting the nomodeset option from the launch menu: Place the cursor over the "try ubuntu" option, press the "e" key, add "nomodeset" after "quite splash", and press F10 to boot.

2. Installed Ubuntu.

3. Booted Ubuntu from disk by again setting the nomodeset option from the launch menu: press Esc during boot, select the right option, press "e" and proceed as in step 1.

4. Download the nightly kernel "linux-image-...-generic-...-amd64.deb" from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-nightly/2014-04-24-trusty/. If the link doesn't work go to the parent directory and select the most recent date.

5. Install kernel from software center.
