Question: I burnt a dvd from windows installation of 16.04 lts 64 bit. During boot, I disabled fastboot, secure boot and Intel speed step. I chose install ubuntu option, after about couple of minutes installation seems to hang, as progress animation stops. Any ideas? Just bought this laptop yesterday, I am totally stuck now. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Answer: 
Try i8kutils 1.43 from <https://launchpad.net/i8kutils>

The kernel module in use is dell-smm-hwmon; i8k kernel module does not exist anymore in recent kernels.
For me, It has been solved running the following:

```
sudo apt install smbios-utils
sudo smbios-thermal-ctl -v --set-thermal-mode=quiet

```
