I have tried the installation (desktop) with a new media and I'm still getting the same result : "The splash screen appears but then a blank screen appears with an underscore cursor at the top-left of the screen. The desktop never appears."
There is nothing relevant in the BIOS that could help resolving this problem. -- Feisty herd 3 desktop install stalls on Quanta TW3M https://launchpad.net/bugs/83901 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
