Today i installed a new "mobile" Ubuntu version on my new usb-stick. But I encountered several problems during the installation especially when it comes to graphics driver.
My system:
> i7-5820K > gtx 1070 > 16gb ddr4 ram > asrock x99 extreme4 motherboard > sandisk extreme 3.0 64gb usb stick (~185mb write/~200mb read)
What did i do? And what happened?
- I downloaded the Ubuntu gnome 16.10 iso
- I installed it on a second usb stick (with rufus.exe)
- I booted from the usb stick
- I installed Ubuntu gnome on the first usb stick mentioned above (note: i did not select "install 3rd party software during the installation" and "install updates during installation")
- I booted my system from the usb stick
- Now I wanted to install the graphics driver for my gtx-1070. So I pressed the WIN key and typed in "Software & Update". After lunching the application I went to the tab "Additional drivers" -> clicked on the driver for my gtx-1070 -> and then on "apply".
- The drivers installed an I rebooted the system
- After starting the system again it left me with an loading screen that crashed after about two minutes
