Well, I installed Ubuntu 12.04 in a Gateway NE 522 with Windows 8. First, I had to install it in Legacy mode, because in UEFI it would not run the bootable USB. In the Legacy mode it runs perfect. Once done that with help of the "Boot-Repair" I changed it to the UEFI and disabled the secure boot mode. GRUB runs fine but when I run ubuntu I get the following message:

microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam16h.bin

kvm: disabled by bios

kvm: disabled by bios

kvm: disabled by bios

and then I just get access to the terminal.

From there, I have already tried with reinstalling unity and gmd. When I try to install amd64-microcode the same error ocurrs ( microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam16h.bin ) by the "updating the microcode on all online processors..." phase of the installation.

Can somebody tell me how can I recover the graphical interphase of ubuntu from the terminal? Thanks a lot
