Public bug reported:
Hi,
I downloaded the ubuntu lucid amd64 final iso and did the sha256sum. I
created a live USB and also burned the iso on a disc. Both produced the
same error:
When I let it boot from the USB/CD it shows the purple splash with the
"keyboard equals human"-icon, after that goes onto a black screen with a
blinking cursor. When using the CD you can hear the CD spin down and no
activity on the laptop.
When I press the keyboard while booting, I can choose different options,
options "try ubuntu", "install ubuntu" and "check for errors" all fail
in the same way.
As I'm not able to do much, I can't use apport or read logs (unless
there is a way to do so?) I'll put as much information about this laptop
as I'm able to find:
Intel® Core™ Duo T6600
(2.20 Ghz - 2 MB L2 cache)
15.6" LED widescreen
WXGA (1366 x 768 pixels)
Mobile GM45 chipset
4 GB DDR2 RAM
VGA: Mobile Intel® GMA 4500MHD
And it has currently Windows 7 installed
Thanks for reading this bug report, and hopefully this can be fixed?
EDIT: little detail though: when it hangs, I can reboot by pressing ctrl
- alt - printScr - B
