Public bug reported: Release: Quantal (20120726/alpha3) Architecture: i386 (but also seen on amd64)
Using the alternate CD installation works ok, but rebooting into the install I am lucky if I get anything on the screen that resembles the lightdm screen (screenshot of that case will be attached). There were also cases of just white or just black. Login is impossible and occasionally everything goes downhill. Ssh login is possible or booting into textual mode.
