If I choose the second boot option "Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-14-generic (recovery mode)" then I get a semi-garbled screen, but there seem to be four lines of output, which are more or less:
/dev/sda2: clean, 144711/3055616 files, 982506/12207104 blocks /dev/sda2: recovering journal /dev/sda3: clean, 363/26984448 files, 1754779/107936256 blocks [ 5.206069] fb: conflicting fb hw usage nouveaufb vs VESA VGA - removing generic driver Above these lines is a thick (two or three text lines high) red/orange striped bar, and below it a thinner (< 1 line high) blue striped bar. Below the blue bar there are a bunch of different colored dots around the screen. The "conflicting fb hw usage nouveaufb vs VESA VGA" line led me to these links, but I'm not sure they really help in finding the underlying bug. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/nouveau/2010-April/thread.html#5477 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9617681 ** Summary changed: - Maverick alpha 2 can't install on late 2008 Macbook Pro (Plymouth fails to start?) + Maverick alpha 2 can't install or run on Macbook Pro (5.1 (late 2008 edition)) -- Maverick alpha 2 can't install or run on Macbook Pro (5.1 (late 2008 edition)) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/607643 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
