VAIO Tap 20 - Unable to Clean Install Ubuntu 20.04 (Multiple Issues)
by Gregory.Opera from LinuxQuestions.org on (#52MRQ)
When I try to "clean" install Ubuntu 20.04 LTS ("Focal Fossa") onto a Sony VAIO Tap 20 with secure boot enabled, everything goes fine, until I restart... Once I restart the computer, I see the "VAIO" logo, then only a black screen - this is before the full-disk encryption password box appears.
As is to be expected, I cannot access Terminal or anything else at this time.
If I try to "clean" install Ubuntu 20.04 LTS ("Focal Fossa") with secure boot disabled, everything installs just fine - but after the reboot, various components are missing - the Ubuntu Software Center is the most obvious example, but I am sure there are plenty of others, if I was to take my time and have a deeper look (yes, I picked a "normal" installation - I did it twice, just to be sure!).
This installation media has been used to "clean" install Ubuntu 20.04 LTS ("Focal Fossa") on multiple other computers (different manufacturers and models), without issue, so there is nothing wrong with the installation media.
Full-disk encryption is essential on this particular computer.
This computer has previously run every other version of Ubuntu and Linux Mint thrown at it without issue... Ubuntu 20.04 LTS ("Focal Fossa") is the first distro that has experienced problems.
I'm out of ideas - does anyone have any suggestions?
