So I have crawled around the web for 2 days now, only to notice that I'm not the only one with this problem and not a single person really knows how to fix this. This is not a single good guide or video out there to solve this problem so here we go...
Computer Specs: upgraded to 16 GB of ram and ia Samsung 970 Pro SSD is installed.
secure boot = disabled
TPM = Available / disabled
SGX = disabled
Legacy boot = disabled
I have installed Ubuntu on a live USB, verified the install and checked for bad blocks on the USB (3.0).
So when i insert the usb, the standard Grub loader comes up. I scrolled down to install ubuntu, and press E, then I go to the end of the following line:
linux /casper/vmlinuz.efi file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper only-ubiquity quiet splash ---
I have tried the follow additional commands:
nouveau.modeset=0
acpi=off
modprobe.blacklist=nouveau
nomodeset
None of this at any given time have worked. After I press F10 I see this error:
failed to claim resource 1. platform device creation failed: -16
My understanding is that it has something to do with NVIDIA drivers, please help.
PS. Ubuntu why haven't you fixed this yet. It's been a plague since 16.04.

Try enabling Legacy Boot: I had it enabled when I dual-booted my HP Omen with Ubuntu.
Also, you likely need to additionally pass the pci=nommconf as a command alongside the modprobe.blacklist=nouveau that you already had. Without that argument, I also couldn't open the Ubuntu installer nor Ubuntu itself later.
I've written up all the steps I had to follow to successfully install Ubuntu alongside Windows on my HP Omen in this article:
Hope this helps!
