So going back over this, and after trying out the disk on multiple dorm- mates comps, I have come to the conclusion that there are 2 separate bugs here:
People who get a flashing black cursor in the top left (possibly not waiting long enough for system to load?) and people who have ALL displays (1-8, including x-windows) go dead, though they may be running (sounds seems to work). The ones with the dead screens almost ALL seem to be combination of AMD processor and ATI graphics. Anybody else agree? -- Install 6:10 Failure: Black screen at Live Desktop Stage https://launchpad.net/bugs/67487 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
