Public bug reported:
When I try to install Ubuntu 12.04 from a USB stick, ubiquity hangs
immediately before I can even click on anything, right after the boot
process.
Sometimes I'm presented with the two options "Try Ubuntu" and "Install
Ubuntu", and sometimes the installer isn't even rendered properly
(buttons, text and images are simply missing, like the program isn't yet
fully loaded or something). In either case, I am unable to do anything
because mouse input as well as keyboard input are not registering at
all. The majority of cases, I am however able to move the mouse pointer
around. Ctrl+Alt+F1 (the virtual terminals) are not working either
because, as stated, keyboard input does not seem to register.
I have downloaded the ISOs from 3 different mirrors, as well as via
BitTorrent, resulting in 4 different ISOs, but they all have the same
MD5 checksum, so I don't think that is the problem. I have tried the
"Startup Disk Creator" in Ubuntu to create the bootable USB drive, as
well as the command:
dd if=ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso of=/dev/sdd bs=4M conv=fsync
but all of the ISOs downloaded and the different ways of creating the
bootable USB drive all give the same non-satisfactory results.
My processor and GPU are: Intel Core 2 Duo, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580,
respectively.
