http://askubuntu.com – I got this new laptop that comes with a 256 GB ssd drive 128 GB are used for the preinstalled Windows 7 I want to install Ubuntu on the other 128 Gb. I first installed 12.10, it worked and booted once into the OS bu then it started booting onto a black screen so i tried with 12.04.1, i tried installing it a few times with the normal and alternate installer but after saying the installation was OK, it boots onto this distorted graphics screen with a purpelish background where you can't do anything.... What do i do? (HowTos)

I´ve been trying to follow every guide I see about installing ubuntu onto a UEFI laptop, but so far nothing has worked. Basically I want to overwrite windows 8 with ubuntu, so I never have to see it again. I installed ubuntu 12.10 64 bit with pendrive onto a USB, went into the computer BIOS, set the usb drive as the priority, disabled fastboot and secure boot.

I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 on my Laptop (Intel Dual Core/Nvidia Graphics).

I am able to boot from cd and I reach the purple screen (here)

But after this screen there is a black screen with a blinking cursor. I have seen all the similar topics but haven't solved it yet.

TL;DR: Windows 7 graphics updater is ******, can't uninstall Ubuntu, I need the black screen problem explained to me like I'm five. Would be open to uninstalling Windows and just running Linux if somebody can walk me through it and it would be easier.

Please.... for the love of god... help me install Ubuntu.

Hard time installing Ubuntu 37 weeks 1 day ago

I have a MSI GT780DXR that currently is booting windows 7. I've been trying to dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu for some time now.

Here's specs that I think would make a difference

Windows 7 500GB*2 RAID 0 hard drives.

Black screen on fresh install 25 weeks 4 days ago

I've been trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 on a laptop for a friend, but I can't seem to get it to display anything. In order to make the installer work, I had to run it in nomodeset mode, otherwise the screen was almost completely black. I could very dimly see the install screen, but barely.

Whenever I try to run Ubuntu from my internal CD drive, I see this screen minus the Ubuntu Text:

Then the screen goes black, not even the internal light stays on. Sometimes it restarts itself, other times the black screen is indefinite until I restart the laptop myself.

I'm on an HP Quad-Core AMD A8-3500M APU with 8 GB RAM and a Radeon AMD 6620g Discrete-Graphics Card.

I tried installing Ubuntu in two different ways:

First, I tried the Windows Installer, and it goes well until I reboot the system and, when booting on Ubuntu, I get the error:

No root file system defined.

Second, I uninstalled wubi by going to to Control Panel -> Uninstall Programs -> Ubuntu. Then, I booted the laptop from the live CD and selected install.

I have been trying to install Ubuntu 11.10 on my new Lenovo laptop. The specs are CPU - AMD A-8 3500M GPU - AMD Radeon HD 6620G 4gb RAM Currently on WIndows 7 64 bit (YUCK) So I put the 32bit Ubuntu 11.10 onto a cd-r, and booted it. I got to the menu screen and hit Install. Screen eventually turned off, so I looked around on the internet and found I have to use the nomodeset option.

I have a question, my friend tried installing Ubuntu on my notebook (Asus g75v) and nothing worked.
