Ubuntu – Is the installation frozen

18.04system-installation

I have an Asus F556U series, 8G of RAM, and trying to install Ubuntu 18.04 from USB when I get to the part where it shows the image, the installation freezes.
I've been half an hour now and continue as you see the image.
Is there anything special I need to do to install Ubuntu on Asus?
Thank you

I have managed to overcome all the problems that my Asus F556U offered me to install Ubuntu 18.04 and it was thanks to @oldfred which showed me the idea of updating the BIOS, and it shows in another question I did: How to install Ubuntu on ASUS F556U, JournalError error? Seeing other examples and modifying GRUP, changing quiet spla\sh by pci=nomsi I managed not to freeze the installation and could complete it. I hope you can help other users

I had the same problem, and I spent several days trying different .ISO files, USB sticks, UEFI and secure-boot settings, all to no avail.

I finally did find a workaround, but you're not going to like it because it is time-consuming. First install Ubuntu 16.04, and then upgrade to 18.04 with this:

sudo apt-get update  
sudo apt-get upgrade  
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

The upgrade takes a few hours, but at least it works.
