Dual Boot Help Anonymous 2016-07-14 00:30:37 Post No. 155558 [Report]

I am trying to set up my laptop to dual boot with Ubuntu 16.04 in addition to the Windows 10 that came pre-installed. I partitioned the hard drive with no problems, the GRUB 2 works perfectly well, and Windows 10 is still miraculously unharmed.
However, Ubuntu is fickle. Sometimes it boots with no problems, but it usually gets stuck after it "can't request region for resource" (see pic related, crudely captured with my phone camera). What does this mean? How do I fix it?

Thanks, and I'm not a very computery guy, so sorry if it seems I have no idea what I'm talking about, because I probably don't.

That's not your real error.

Unless you have a Thinkpad or similar, you don't even have a TPM. The real error is happening after the TPM error, and you're not seeing it because hard lock.

Why are you trying to dual-boot anyway?

What's wrong with VMWare?

I don't like Microsoft for petty reasons, so I thought I'd try out some alternatives. I tried out Ubuntu on VirtualBox and liked it, and decided I wanted it to be my main OS. But I didn't want to just throw out Windows, so I thought, why not dual-boot?

Like I said, this stuff is higher over my head than I was expecting, so I knew it would be something silly like that. (I was thinking I could just search the whole process online and magically be done.) Thanks for the tip!

Protip: look up the error message. I just looked up
Can't request region for resource
And found that.

Waddya know, Google really is better.
Nothing useful shows up on Duckduckgo (what I usually use).
I'll have to use better search engines when my next inevitable problem comes up :)

No problem senpai. Good luck with your new OS.
