A few days ago I bought a Dell Latitude 5420 i7-1185G7 Iris Xe Graphics. I have a problem with Ubuntu desktop installation.
Firstly I tried to install version 21.04. I prepared bootable USB storage with etcher. I plugged the USB, then ran the PC, pressed F12 and changed boot to boot from USB storage. The GRUB showed up quite quickly and then I selected to run Ubuntu. The process of starting the system is quite long but finally the ubuntu properly started from pendrive. I live mode and generally everything works well. So I started installation which also went well. After installing a reboot system, plugged out the pendrive and waited. Generally nothing happens. I see only the Dell logo and that’s all. After a long time the system goes into emergency mode. So It’s strange that with live mode everything works. After installation it’s broken.
With version 20.04 LTS I have the same situation.
Only version 18.04 LTS works well. I mean that the booting process went fast, installation without problems and the system works. But it looks like Ubuntu doesn’t support HDMI, screen bright options, and probably others thinks. I read that it lacks support for Intel Iris Xe Graphics.
Please help me. I spent a lot of hours installing and trying different things. But nothing work.
