I have tried to do a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on my HP machine and failed miserably.
I downloaded the Ubuntu image, created a bootable USB with rufus, turned off my laptop, turned it back on, pressed ESC and selected boot options (F9). I had 2 options both with UEFI after them. Picked the USB and it takes me to a screen with only one option -> Install UBUNTU.
I installed ubuntu that way. After going through the basic configuration (timezone, language etc) I get prompted with a message about forcing UEFI or "go back". Not sure what this is. I selected Continue with UEFI and it just started installing the UBUNTU. It works... only I cannot connect to the internet and I think there are 2 more profiles in it that I haven't created (must have been something that was already installed on my laptop from where I bought the laptop - INTEL IPOS - basically a presentation screen of the laptop's system configuration that I have seen many times running on the laptops on display in shops).
What is this? Is there a problem with the bios configuration? I have no idea how to go forward from here. At the moment I have a copy of ubuntu running on my latop, with no ability to connect to wireless connections and two random profiles that I haven't created.
