Linux Ubuntu/mint/debain on HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop-PC TG01-2000i stuck on hp logo?

Hey, 

I know there is no support, but maybe some of you have experience with this issue

On a second ssd I want a Linux Distribution. If i want to start the live version or want to install a version, it stuck on the HP logo

I've disabled secure boot. 

Tried Linux Mint 21.2 / Ubuntu 22.04 and Debian 11.

There must be a way? Because there are not so much bios settings which can be edited?

thx

I spent more time than I care to admit troubleshooting a similar problem on a HP TG01-2XXX.

Adding acpi=off as a grub boot parameter allowed Ubuntu to successfully start up while using a live USB. Unfortunately, with acpi=off the live installer would have an error when creating the EFI partition. I could have done more troubleshooting and various permutations of acpi and acpic settings (https://www.rigacci.org/wiki/doku.php/doc/appunti/linux/sa/irq_acpi_apic) I ultimately switched to Linux Mint - which is based off Ubuntu.

Linux Mint would boot and install fine with the acpi=off parameter. However, this caused other issues such as only one display working, non-responsive UI, and some inconsistent errors while booting and operating in the Mint environment.

With acpi=off I used Driver Manager to install the new Nvidia drivers and tried to boot the system using acpi=off. This did not work. After reading the log I was able to fix this and maintain Nvidia drivers by replacing acpi=off with noapic.

So if you are still struggling I would suggest doing the following:

1.) Switch to Linux Mint
2.) Use onboard VGA port for initial boot and disable the Nvidia card
3.) Boot live USB/CD with acpi=off and install
4.) Boot the installed system with acpi=off
5.) Update Nvidia drivers using Driver Manager
6.) Restart and replace acpi=off with noapic

If all that fails or you want to continue trying Ubuntu you may need to dig into drivers and ACPI and APIC options. Understanding what these options actually do did help be parse the error messages in a verbose boot setup (https://www.rigacci.org/wiki/doku.php/doc/appunti/linux/sa/irq_acpi_apic).

Goodluck.
