http://askubuntu.com – I have tried to install Ubuntu version 10, 11 and 12 64 bit on my Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3P motherboard using live CD and placing the DVD in the drive and starting the machine. When I go to install Ubuntu I get a dark screen and no text at all. When I go with Live CD I reboot and then I go right into the install from the boot menu and still get darkness. Nothing appears. I have a i7 intel CPU with Nvida Gefore GTX 560 Ti video board. (HowTos)

Hi everyone, I'm new here but I've got a little bit of outdated linux know-how.

Briefly, I'm having a problem installing Ubuntu 12.04 (.1) LTS on my desktop and it's driving me mad.

In search of a new Motherboard. 3 years 23 weeks ago

It looks like my motherboard is thinking about dying so I expect I'll need another one soon. I have a Conroe E6600, and am sing DDR2 800 memory at the moment, I would like to just swap boards and not have to spend money on RAM etc.

I am looking at the Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P, has anyone had any experience with this board and fedora?

Hi, I am attempting to install the x86-64 version of Ubuntu 12.10 on my desktop, but approximately 3/4 of the way through the install, it hangs and my display becomes corrupted. I have left it alone for 2 additional hours just to make sure that it isn't continuing installing in the background, and I have tried with the grab updates/3rd party toggles on and off.

[ubuntu] Live cd does not boot 3 years 7 weeks ago

Hi everyone!

Another issue I experience is the following:

When I insert the Ubuntu Live CD into my laptop cd drive, it is recognized, as it shows the menu where I can choose to install, to try it without installing etc. However, when I choose install, it says that something is not empty... and it won't install, neither does the live version start up.

Ok, here is an unusual problem. I have a Dell vostro 1510 with an nVidia 8400M graphics card. The GPU fried on it and I had it sent into dell. They probably replaced the motherboard and flashed the BIOS with an updated version that corrects the GPU error.
