But thanks again.

…-no changes possible.
I then Powered Off the system and it hung in several error lines. - Too risky for me and the 1024x768 is unusable nowadays.

So, final verdict: OMEN is incompatible with UBUNTU, at least.

Also, I tried to use the Boot Stick on my old ASUS. I did add the USBdrive as 1st boot priority. However, the Laptop does not recognize any bootable OS at all.
I therefore giv

Sooo…,

I have succeeded in using your "SGX to “enable” pretty quickly.
Still, same errors and the yellow UBUNTU.

I then saw that there is another boot option with “safe graphics”, which I used. And (partial) “bingo”: I finally got a boot, but still the same disturbing BIOS errors.
The System then booted in a “safe mode” with 1024x768 resolution.
I found where I could (theoretically) change this, but as it is “safe mode”–…

I refrain from asking why.

I am thankful for the solution path. Will try it tomorrow.

…have done, is to check and reset the max #BatteryCapacity, a manager from a specialist battery company informed me recently. The content on the upgrade SSDs is still unchanged, though.

Thanks will look at this tomorrow.

No, the PC had (!) already not been working anymore b/c some smart-ass HP support technician thought it necessary to update the BIOS as a 1st step in finding about why the replaced battery did not work longer than only 45 min. Now, the PC doesn’t find a bookable OS on the 2 upgrade SSD’s anymore, that had been working nicely for several years. What he should…

@amunizp @ubuntu @Linux4Everyone @linux

…need to be reset in the BIOS, though what, no idea whatsoever.

@vipaal

Not sure if I understood everything. I created the USB bootstick with the latest 5yr “warranty” versión.
Then, I reebooted and selected the 1st option: start or install.
I then selected boot from USB.
Then I got the BIOS Error screen for some second.
After that, the yellow screen from the UEL below, but with white instead of green.

Note: I’ve never seen a working #Linux desktop.

@amunizp @Linux4Everyone @linux

@amunizp

Yes, exactly, but with no green but white instead (even worse contrast).

I read the link now:

"
I managed to solve the problem, I had to set the monitor calibration in Settings/Color and set sRGB as default for both monitors."
Will not work for me as I cannot see a think w/ white on yellow. The power-down button was puré luck.
Also, this us a laptop monitor, no #display buttons, etc.

IMO sth. would…

Too bad, as I was thinking, #BIOS errors with the #Ubuntu #Linux #bootstick.

Any 💡 ideas which settings would need to be changed?

@amunizp

Was able to power down the system using the #ApplicationLauncherSearch, but the color settings need to be fixed.

https://vitux.com/3-ways-to-shut-down-power-off-your-ubuntu-system/

Does this have to be done via BIOS settings before booting? Once the system starts, I can hardly see a thing, got lucky with the launcher.

@Linux4Everyone @linux

@amunizp

The system did start and looks sort of like a windows 1.0 desktop, but in white on bright yellow, almost unreadable.

Thoughts?

@Linux4Everyone @linux

@amunizp

Ok. The installation on the stick is completed.
I put the stick in the target system (HP) and did not mess with any further settings, but pressed Try Ubuntu (first option).

Then, I selected the colorful (:)) option “Try Ubuntu” (without installation)

@amunizp

Once you realize, that you need to select the #Etcher version for the host system, not the target #OS you want to install, it is all great. - Already at 20% of #Ubuntu on the #USB stick.

@Linux4Everyone @linux

@amunizp

ok, at stick of at least 12 GB is required. Had to switch.

Also, OMENs are not certified for #Ubuntu, will try anyway:

It has at least two USB ports: one even 3.1, if I remember correctly.

Yes, re/ #LibreOffice and #OfficeOnline - no re/ compatibility and performance.

Excellent.

Just cleaned a stick. Will try your 1st suggestion now.
