Recently I bought a new laptop that came with Windows 10 installed but not activated. I use both Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04, so I tried making a dual boot with a USB flash drive. It was recognized by the BIOS, I tried Try Ubuntu without installing and Install Ubuntu. With both options the PC freezes, and I need to press the power button. It's shown very fast some errors that are listed below:

[ 0.064522] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_SB.PCID.RPOB.PXSX, AE_NOT_FOUND (20170831/parse-550)

I'm using NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti graphics card and Intel i7-8750H processor. I talked to the customer support and they just said that my laptop might not be compatible with Ubuntu. I also tried Ubuntu 16.04, but there were no changes.

EDIT: Thanks a lot for all the answers, but unfortunatelly I returned the PC to the store, neither the technical support found a solution for the problem, they just said: "Our PCs are just able to work with Windows, anyother OS might work but without our warranty".

I'm following a tutorial (https://www.learnopencv.com/install-opencv3-on-ubuntu/) to install opencv 3.0 on ubuntu 16, but I've got problems in step 5.2: Run Cmake, until step 5.1 was everything ok.

When I try to execute this:

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE \
      -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local \
      -D INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=ON \
      -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON \
      -D WITH_TBB=ON \
      -D WITH_V4L=ON \
      -D WITH_QT=ON \
      -D WITH_OPENGL=ON \
      -D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=../../opencv_contrib/modules \
      -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON ..

I get this:

Parse error in command line argument: -D
Should be: VAR:type=value
CMake Error: No cmake script provided.
CMake Error: Problem processing arguments. Aborting.

What can I do to solve this problem? I'm very new to ubuntu, I was used to work with opencv on windows.
