This is possibly due to preinstalled Windows 8 and UEFI. I did not approve/accept the Windows 8 installation and that should not matter. I want to install only Ubuntu and *no* dual boot with the preinstalled Windows 8. I want to erase the entire disc in firsts steps of installation procedure.

Perhaps I did something wrong. What are ways to write debug to the screen in my case? And, more importantly, how do I get it working because have the right to install whatever I want? Is the only way to get it installed to accept the Windows 8 license and install Ubuntu from Windows (and in effect making it dual boot which I don't want). Ubuntu should fix this as it is the flagship of a major laptop manufacturer (ASUS) for which Ubuntu is no longer installable. --- ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu8.4 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: sander 2424 F.... pulseaudio DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 EcryptfsInUse: Yes HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=24994e67-9b18-4cad-b387-788beff8b388 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-07-06 (80 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Release amd64 (20130424) MachineType: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
