[Bug 1530530] [NEW] Installer doesn't show up on some Chromebook

I downloaded Ubuntu Wily 15.10, then copied into an USB drive in order to use that to install Ubuntu on my Chromebook Pixel 2.
After selecting the drive to boot from, I only get a terminal that shows up the following lines:

graphics initialization failed
Error setting up gfxboot
boot:

Same happens with any *buntu ISO image ( I tried KDE and XFCE as well).
At this point, I tried to download the  Debian8 ISO image and I noticed that the installer doesn't recognize the video size, too but then asks for the user to manually select a suitable video format from a list of options. From that point on, I was able to install Debian on the chromebook.

** Affects: gfxboot-theme-ubuntu (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed
