Public bug reported: Fresh, clean install of Ubuntu 15.10 threw this on first boot.
When installing, i had to select "Try Ubuntu" (Boot to the desktop). Selecting "Install Ubuntu" threw a fatal Ubiquity error loop. in that case the main cause was determined to be Ubiquity not being able to detect my Graphics Chip, a Combination Intel HD graphics chip and an Nvida 840m chip. the errors in question: nouveau ![ DEVICE][0000:03:00.0] unknown Maxwell chipset [ 0.734866] nouveau E[ DEVICE][0000:03:00.0] unknown chipset, 0x118010a2 [ 0.734868] nouveau E[ DRM] failed to create 0x00000080, -22 [ 0.735125] nouveau: probe of 0000:03:00.0 failed with error -22 distribution: Description: Ubuntu 15.10 Release: 15.10 Nouveau Version: Installed: 1:1.0.11-1ubuntu3 Candidate: 1:1.0.11-1ubuntu3 Version table: *** 1:1.0.11-1ubuntu3 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ wily/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status A better description of the ubiquity Problem: the screen appeared in greyscale. the installer immediately threw a Ubiquity fatal error, then dropping to a oddly spaced message screen with an error, "Failed to load login", or to that effect. Eventually, after 5-6 minutes, a message stating that X.org "Failed to determine my graphics card", asking me to select default setting, which also failed. reloading it in desktop mode, then installing fixed this issue, and i was able to install successfully ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.10 Package: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.11-1ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.2.0-19.23-generic 4.2.6 Uname: Linux 4.2.0-19-generic x86_64 .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 2.19.1-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Thu Dec 10 21:56:18 2015 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: wily DistroVariant: ubuntu ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0416] (rev 06) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
