Hello all, I have been working on this for two days now, and it seems that i slowly have made things worse as time has gone on. I had all of the problems stated (boot hang, blaring fan, white noise), but have found solutions to a few of them, and have information that could help pinpoint the others.
1. go to advance boot 2. linux 4.4 recovery works and does not have blaring fan. 2.5 linux 4.4 regular and upstart do not work 3. I have followed the instructions for archlinux which has solved the problem of the white noise in the earphones. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ASUS_Zenbook_Pro_UX501 boot/fan: After trying everything from reinstalling to boot-repair to fsck and all of the bios options (except flashing the bios, which I am possibly going to do a reinstall and flash the bios). anyone have any more information, would be greatly obliged! -- 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.).
