"A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as resolving a linux freeze on boot to let the world know that their hope was never ended." :)
It works for me now.. I tried many other methods given in net but only this line could solve my problem. Hope this problem will not appear again. Thanks !!
Can you please tell me any other changes you made in the /etc/default/grub? The screen is not that clear but I can see you have set GRUB_TIMEOUT=5, in GRUB_DISTRIBUTION you have something like -d, also at the very end you have some commands. Can you please share all this, idk whether they are missing in my machine or you made those changes, pls just send them so I can change my GRUB. THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE!!
this didn’t work for me, still stuck on loading initial ramdisk. This was odd as I have done this many times before and now I am stuck with a broken (until I find another workaround) thinkpad X1 carbon
I still have a problem. Ubuntu 19.04 boots and installs fine, but when I try Deepin, Pop OS or KDE Neon I can't reach grub. I boot from the USB and all I see is a white underscore with a black background. Nothing Happens. Don't know what to do...
@@gekko7113 firmware is updated to version .308 on Asus UX333 (latest version). The problem persists, cant even reach GRUB. Only Ubuntu and Elementary OS can load correctly.
@@gekko7113 Those distros boot fine from my other PC, so I dont think that the USB stick Is the problem. I tried Rufus (gpt and mbr), unebootin, etcher, no changes.
I did an experiment: I copied the Ubuntu EFI into the USB where I flashed POP OS and I can reach the installation page, but when It tries to load it gives an error (no live installation media found)... So at this point I think there Is an incompatibility with the GRUB bootloader that those distros are using
@@andreiletvinov866 try to find your drivers for Linux while you are on Windows, if this doesn't work, try a different distro. Are you using a popular one or a fork? Usually, most of them have no such problems with sound/wifi.
