Ubuntu doesn't boot after UEFI installation
I have tried to install Xubuntu 16.04 on my laptop with no success. Xubuntu = XFCE + Unbuntu so the instalation process and everything is the same as Ubuntu.
To sum up, I tried to install it and I wanted to delete my Windows and after Xubuntu was installed it didn't boot. If I plug the USB with Xubuntu and press try or install it gets stuck before booting. Help please!
This is everything I have tried:
When I bought my laptop it had installed a trial version of Windows. I wanted to install Xubuntu via UEFI and delete Windows. I might install Windows later along Xubuntu. What I did was the following:
I plugged the USB with the 64bit disk of Xubuntu in it. To boot from the USB I had to boot from Windows and then I clicked on an option that comes with Windows that rebooted the computer and booted from USB.
I followed this guide to install the OS https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
I followed the "General principles" of that link, but #2 because my BIOS doesn't have any option of QuickBoot/FastBoot and Intel Smart Response Technology.
The installer appeared correctly and I selected the option of creating new partitions. I erased Windows and created two partitions. A small swap and the rest for / with the correct format. After, the installer told me that a boot partition was needed and its size should be ~35Mb I created one with format EFI of size 70Mb. The installation continued and after it finished the computer didn't boot.
A black screen with the text Reboot or select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press any key. I guess something didn't work in the process of installation. I went into the BIOS and the devices to boot from were just from the internet IPv4 and IPv6.
Now if I plug the USB again the screen of the previous guide appears http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1347445084.png but if I press any option (and press Esc so I can see what is being loaded) it always gets stuck at some point.
I read somewhere that the boot partition needs normally ~600Mb so I thought that it was getting stuck because it hadn't enough memory. So,
I downloaded boot repair disk and erased all the partitions of my hard drive and formatted it completely. I wanted to install Xubuntu again from scratch. But I have the same problem, every time I plug the USB and press in try Xubuntu or install Xubuntu it gets stuck.
I tried to install it without UEFI mode and I had the same problem. But something really strange happened. I enabled again UEFI and enabled secure boot and after I selected "try Xubuntu" it booted perfectly well. I thought "maybe I should have enabled the secure boot the first time and that was the only problem". So I rebooted in order to select Install Xubuntu but it got stuck again!!! After that I tried again to select Try Xubuntu and it got stuck too.
I don't know what more I can do. Could you help me to solve the problem? Ideally I would want to have Xubuntu installed in UEFI mode.

Please run the Boot Info Script. This will generate a file calledRESULTS.txt. Post that file to a pastebin site and post the URL to your document here. This will give us more details about your configuration, which is required to base an answer on more than guesswork.

I solved by pressing 'e' in grub and writing "nomodeset" before "splash" and then I could boot with the live usb. I could install it although the boot partition was not correctly linked in the bios. I solved this last problem with Boot repair.
