Installing Ubuntu 16.04 - Out of Range issue (in Skylake)
I'm trying to install Ubuntu Studio in a brand new machine. It has UEFI and Grub2.
Problem is that after a Ubuntu (Studio) splash screen I get a "signal out of range" error. And all I can do is press ctrl+alt+F1 to log in without X.
--
So, I read things like disabling UEFI and Fast Boot and so I did. That just changed the look and feel of the grub2 menu. But the Out of Range issue remains.
--
Then, some people talks about using nomodeset. But I just can't find where to put that.
--
Other people says "edit /etc/default/grub and uncomment the GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 line". So I did. The I'm supposed to run:
sudo update-grub2
Well, that last line won't work. I'm getting this error:
failed to get canonical path of /cow
I understand this has something to do with mounting something. Not sure if my new SSD disk (that I didn't format at all, is brand new). Any clue?
--
Also some people talks about using grub-repair but that seems to work only for people already having a running X environment. And I don't. If I burn a recovery CD all I get is the grub screen.
--
Finally, there're the ones who talks about compatibility issues with skylake, and mention adding this param somewhere: i915.preliminary_hw_support=1
And I just don't know what are they talking about.
--
More that all I'd like to understand where is supposed grub to live? In my pendrive? Or is it part of the kernel now? I just don't get it.
Thanks in advance.

News: I was able to run from the live-pendrive and install by using the nomodeset param. I learned how here:
Trying to install Ubuntu 14.04, monitor says mode unsupported/out of range
Bsically, pressing the "e" key in the grub menu and adding that string after the words "quiet splash".
