ok I got my computer to load up on the 4.4 kernel. But the screen res is locked in at 800x600. I have no trackpad (also tried a usb mouse and touchscreen with no luck), and no wifi. Nonetheless, I persevered and opened up my terminal to start a bug report, but I could only see the first couple of dropdowns on my screen - couldn't scroll. Also tried to run "xrandr -s 3840x2160" to manually set the screen res, but it said something like "setting not recognized". Kind of felt like I was missing a ton of drivers.
On the plus side, the 4.6.0-040600-generic kernel is working very well for me now, due to the magical grub line mentioned above. At this point, should I move forward with reporting bugs "upstream" or should I mess with some things to try to get 4.4 working so I can report my bugs there? What I really want at this point is to help make it so when others go to install Ubuntu 16.04 on an Asus Zenbook Pro UX501VW, it just works out of the gate. Just trying to be the best Ubuntu citizen I can be :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575437 Title: Asus ZenBook UX501VW frequently hangs during boot under Ubuntu 16.04 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: A fresh install of Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 on an Asus ZenBook UX501VW hangs during boot, approximately 80% to 90% of the time... occasionally it manages to complete the startup for no discrenable reason, at which point the fan will run at full speed nonstop (very loud) until the machine is powered down. Due to the information from <https://marclewis.com/2016/04/25/installing-ubuntu-16-04-lts-on-asus- zenbook-ux501vw/>, I installed the wily 4.3.5 kernel (replacing 4.4.0) from <http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.3.5-wily/>, which appears to work perfectly... no bootup hangs or odd fan behaviour The hang occurs shortly after providing the disk decryption key (I opted for full-disk encryption during installation). The issue occurs frequently when booting Ubuntu Gnome from a flash drive using "try before installation" mode, however, so I'm confident that it's not actually encryption related. I am *not* using any proprietary drivers (no nvidia, etc.).
