I’m fairly certain this is caused by your 5000-series card. Try booting the livecd/installed OS with nomodeset. When you are at the grub boot menu press e and you can add nomodeset like here: How to Manually Set nomodeset Kernel Boot Line Option in Linux | Dell US
That should get you into the normal GUI. Then you can install the 5000-series driver, I have no idea if it is available in the 22.04 repositories but you can get the official driver from nvidia here: Driver Details | NVIDIA
You’re probably lucky with Fedora Media Writer 
I ran into that multiple times also with Rufus (hybrid and dd); Etcher’s been fine.
I haven’t heard of anything regarding ventoy? Got a source on this you can point to?
Yea I’m pretty sure that’s his issue and why I recommended 25.04 over the 22.04 lst he started with.
+1; I had an Alienware RTX 3060 laptop that wouldn’t boot 2024 Linux LiveUSBs unless they were booted with nomodeset.
With Fedora, that boot option carried over automatically to post-install and worked enough until the proprietary driver install.
Linux is Open Source, so the community develops and/or integrates drivers. It takes TIME to do that. The process cannot (usually) start until the hardware is actually released. As a result, getting Linux working on hardware that was released yesterday can be tricky. Give it a few/several months, though, and it’s usually painless.
So if you are the sort of person that burns money buying the latest and ‘greatest’ hardware the moment it comes out, you may not have the best experience… and probably never will.
It’s not a problem with Linux. It’s a problem with your expectations, and you not giving the Open Source community adequate time to do the work that is required.
If you like smooth installs and saving money, wait at least six months or so after new hardware has been released before buying it and installing Linux on it (or sticking it into a Linux system).
PS: The above refers mainly to real (desktop) computers, not the closed and proprietary hellscape that is laptops.
I broke a lot when I was new to Linux. Snapshots saved me dozens of hour fixing things.
And Kernel has all the drivers. You only need special drivers and tweaking if the hardware doesn’t properly support Linux. So buy hardware where the company provides solid drivers for the Kernel
This is a decent discussion on it
I don’t agree with using Btrfs as a convenience in that case.
I feel breaking your system to “need” full-reinstalls is a learning process. Undoing mistakes like magic with a filesystem over-simplifies that by hiding details
But it also makes a habit out of undoing mistakes like magic vs actually undoing it (LiveUSB disk mount cli stuff) or understanding whys. It’s also distro-specific without standard (Ubuntu snapshots differ from openSUSE’s, or Fedora SB) which makes it tricky to distro-hop while relying on that magic.
Btrfs/snapshots are a noob-trap
I know it’s “possible” to get a 5090 to work with this since there are plenty of them running it. Anywho
To get it to load from the drive I need to enter acpi=off, then it runs fine. I do get stuck on running grub-install /dev/sda fails so I’ll just try to get past that too I suppose. expo on or off doesn’t seem to matter, running with it off for now though. dunno what else it could be but I don’t think the network adapters are installed at all so I have no internet, that might be trouble too
If you have an old card try booting with that first before rebasing to the bleeding edge proprietary nvidia drivers
As for integrating the nouveau drivers, they should always be baked in to every linux kernel.
Your quickest option is to keep going upstream (which is why I recommend fedora as a host OS) to just get it working normally. VM’s make all the backwards compatibility a breeze which is where you could run a Ubuntu LTS release on your new hardware
LVM is even worse imo lol
I don’t think it’s the 5090 that’s the issue now, I’m getting “failed to register the efi boot entry operation not permitted”. Grub isn’t grubbing? I have no Idea what’s wrong right now but I don’t want to reboot it because for the first time I actually have internet on this machine
Secure Boot is off/set to Other OS? Usually a clear CMOS resets that to on which only works with Windows.
That sounds a lot like a Secure Boot issue.
@JackOfSomeTrades Allow me to retort amidst the sea of replies with a few off the path notes…Also forgive me I didn’t read every post in the thread.
Most Windows users that try Linux and “it don’ werk.” also don’t understand Windows, because their machine came with it so they complain about the one because they have to learn it where as they PAID money to not learn the other. If you Do know Windows know you have to fight with drivers or quirks there just the same, so deep breathe, some reading, relax.
Ubuntu or Mint are about as “Grandma” as it gets so unless you have some really whacky hardware there should be zero issues with drivers. In fact Linux will typically be more MacOS like for drivers than Windows. The catch is people buy what’s cheap or what they think is fancy which can lead to the aforementioned whacky hardware that Windows barely supports…but it supports so it appears Windows is better…(it is not).
I’m an old OEM, I ran BSD servers back in the day and I supported Windows, MacOS, and all manner of *nix. I’d love to sell you on Linux but there is a point with this stuff where it’s more like Ice Cream flavors. No one is going to tell me Strawberry is best. You use what you like, what works for you, moral and privacy issues not withstanding. However if you get the rant out of your system. Dig into what Windows might be doing to blatantly sabotage your hardware (boot issues/UEFI/blabla), the annoyance with nVidia hardware and so on you will start to see some things and once the fog of rant clears…things might start to look brighter than just rolling back to what you came from.
Again old OEM, Win XP was great, Win 7 was good, I loved Win 2000, MacOS 9 was more unstable than Windows 95 (fight me!) I’ve been around the block and you’d have to pay me a giant lump sum tax free as well as buy me land and a few other goodies to go back to Windows, even for gaming hehe.
I managed to fix it by using this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fleF4qDtwDE
Now I’m going through a list for debugging the acpi
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI
from this post https://askubuntu.com/questions/139157/booting-ubuntu-with-acpi-off-grub-parameter
acpi=ht didn’t work so SMT the 9950x3d is a problem I think
dude, 22.04 is OLD AF. You def need the newer versions. But 25.04 is borked currently so maybe something like Manjaro (arch based), Garuda (also arch based), Fedora 42 KDE, or Linux Mint would be more up your ally. Those usually detect and install the Nvidia drivers automatically. You want a newer kernel version to use Ryzen 9000 and Nvidia 5000. Ubuntu 22.04 is from 2022. It uses an old kernel which 9 times out of 10 does not support the latest hardware. An Arch based distro is usually the best bet for the latest and greatest hardware because it is bleeding edge.
Linux so far:
Have to solve random issues while installing the OS, takes hours to figure out.
Finally load into OS on drive
Have to update everything manually, no option to just Get newest stable versions for all detected hardware and installed software.
Installing Nvidia drivers is a multistep process requiring tons of installs, resolution STILL stuck at 1024x768 lord knows how many more installs it takes to get it to native
Network suddenly gone, had to reinstall “generic extras” because why not just update some parts then brick others on an OS update.
OS still broken, reboot or shutdown leave a screen with random [OK] messages. no inputs work, need to powerbutton everytime like it’s 1990.
a + , it has functional darkmode.
Yeah so far I gotta say, Linux on desktop doesn’t really compute for me.
I’ve built every pc I’ve owned and all my friends computers so while I don’t have anywhere near your numbers I did have the advantage of forgetting everything everytime and it still was relatively straight forward since windows 98 to 11. And while windows sucks, what it does do is work just fine out of the box and you beat it into submission if you want.
Linux is an over hydrated ditto with stage 7 dementia and you are trying to teach it how to change it’s shape and hold it.
Edit here
That was a bit harsh tone wise, I’m just trying to express my genuine frustrating experience. It’s been amazing to see the response in here from all of you, love it. Just not Linux at the moment
