I'm starting to think it might have something to do with the nouveau graphics driver.
I eventually downloaded the alternate installation ISO and was able to finally, after two attempts, install Ubuntu. (I've never had this much trouble with a release, since 2007.) Anyways, at the lightdm login screen, after booting into my new installation, everything was running extremely slowly. Even the mouse pointer was staggering a bit as I was trying to login. I didn't login though, I decided it would be a pain, performance-wise, so I went to a virtual terminal and did some package upgrading/installing. Among other things, I installed nvidia-current and nvidia-current-updates (of which I am using the latter), and now things run smoothly. Could it have to do with nouveau? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/989655 Title: ubiquity hangs immediately after boot on precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/989655/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
