Hi, I was just searching this topic and found this thread, as I have an Inspiron 1501 and was just having this problem trying to install Linux Mint 15.
I'm downloading Ubuntu 13.04 now and will try a live USB of that and let you know the results. I'm starting with the standard release, but will also test the development release you linked to above. Not sure I can do all the tracking you asked for, as I'm not a developer, but will see what happens. thanks, Randy Earl -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/572521 Title: vertical coloured lines on bootup dell inspiron 1501 (still in 13.04) Status in The Linux Kernel: Invalid Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: xorg Have just updated to 10.04, on a dell inspiron 1501, 2.6.32-21-generic just stops with coloured vertical lines on the screen. 2.6.31-20-generic loads ok.
