You have been subscribed to a public bug: Attempted Ubuntu installation from DVD, version 14.04.1 on a laptop "Dell Precision M4800".
Two scenarios: I and II. I ) Laptop only. Installation DVD boots but screen remains blank. II) Second monitor connected on Displayport. Behaviour is then: 1. Bootup animation appears on second monitor 2. Login screen appears on laptop monitor ( IIRC ) 2.a ) Login as ubuntu user -> Graphical installer goes to reboot loop 2.b) Press CTRL + ALT + F1 -> Brings up command line Two observations: 1. Obviously installer behaviour still needs tweaking on this hardware 2. I could maybe proceed with the install using the command line. I followed instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#Installation_without_X_.2BAC8_from_the_console and installed nvidia-drivers with $ sudo apt-get install nvidia-331 Did not yet get a functioning graphical installation environment. Any tips would be appreciated. ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Graphics problems on Dell Precision M4800 install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1372867 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
