Bug Description
When booting to a live usb via UEFI boot on a hybrid Dell Inspiron 7559 laptop (Intel/Nvidia), the Try "Kubuntu option" hangs. If maybe-ubiquity is removed from the boot parameters, the laptop will live boot without issue. Proceeding directly to install works fine.
Another workaround is to add "nomodeset" to the boot parameters. But nomodeset forces a VGA boot. VGA on a 4k screen provides a very poor Live session experience.
I will reboot again with quiet mode disabled to see if any additional errors are displayed.

Removing the maybe-ubiquity from the boot params, booted to live session 3 out 3 attempts.
Sometimes the ubiquity boot will fail before the Try/Install menu is displayed as shown in the attachment. And it on this hybrid hardware, Try Kubuntu option always fails (assuming the ubiquity reaches that point).
