I tried Ubuntu Server 14.04.3 LTS but it didn't work for a different reason. I got "Failed to load COM32 file gfxboot.c32" and the provided solution didn't work (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/259869). That has happened to me before for some Kubuntu release on another laptop and I was able to work it out, not this time though.
In the end I managed to install Kubuntu 14.04.1 without trouble from USB stick (like all my attempts). Notice that Kubuntu 14.04.2 failed. That should be the case for Ubuntu too so I would recommend people to try that out as the simplest solution.
Hi Tobias,
