Framework 13 Pro Ubuntu 26.04 Problem / Question

Brand new 13 Pro DIY, delivered this afternoon. Super excited!

Trying to install Ubuntu 26.04. Stalls on the Framework / Ubuntu boot screen, with the little spinning wheel running forever (up to 25 minutes). (Also I tested the USB stick on my Framework 13, 12th gen Intel, works fine.)

Surprisingly, the new 13 Pro boots and runs Fedore 44 just fine.

I perfer Ubuntu. Anyone else having similar problems? Any debug ideas?

Press escape during the ubuntu boot sequence and it should swap from the pretty spinner to the boot console, which should have info on whereabouts it has gotten stuck

Thanks. I’ll try it in a few hours (busy man here).

Update: i updated the BIOS in Fedora 44. And now Ubuntu 26.04 boots fine.

Note: This was all on my Framework 13 PRO DIY, Intel Core Ultra 3 x7 358H.

Had the same issue, updated firmware in Fedora and was then able to install Kubuntu 26.04. Thanks!
