Public bug reported: A Dell E1705 will not boot from the liveCD in either safe graphics mode or regular graphics mode. The only way to boot the liveCD is to install fglrx from the command line, even though vesa will work once ubuntu is installed. I do not believe that ati or radeon drivers will run on that computer. The card is a mobility radeon X1400.
Some one else reported a very similar problem with the same computer, but with an intel graphics card (the ati card was an option on my machine, an intel card comes standard) ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- dell E1705 will not boot into X from liveCD. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139505 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
