Installing Ubuntu 15.10 on the Defiance II

Hi All
I just got a new laptop configured and received it with the intention that to install linux and i tried all of them with no luck(mint, centos, fedora, ubuntu).
It is not installing linux at all which is odd as linux could be installed on a minimum hard drive, some of the components might not have a compatible driver and not work(i can understand that) but not installing at all is very odd!!!

I wonder if anybody has similar issue(i noticed on this forum some purchased similar laptop and installed linux successfully).

I noticed in my BIOS there is no section of advanced setting

Thanks

You have a muxless laptop which is why you don't see the advanced settings in the BIOS. And as Stephen mentioned, type 'e' at the bootloader and then type nouveau.modeset=0 before the words quiet spash in the GRUB_LINUX_CMD line. Hope this helps.
