http://ubuntuforums.org – 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. When I first boot up, everything works perfectly from the liveCD until I try to run the installer.

I wanted to install Ubuntu 11.10 on my new PC. But LiveUSB hangs on boot (stops at line x initrd memory freed; if I press enter it writes some more lines and hangs again, this time completely).

Tried also LiveCD, Ubuntu 12.04 alpha, Fedora 15, Rescatux (Debian), noapic, nolapic, safe mode and everything won't boot.

Currently I'm forced to use Windows7.

I have downloaded the Ubuntu 12.10 i386 Desktop ISO both via HTTP & Torrent Download. I have attempted the install via CD & Bootable USB (created using YUMI from Pendrive Linux), each using a different ISO (to rule out corruption).

I can boot from CD & USB and use the live Ubuntu, but each time I try to Install it, Ubiquity hangs at the "Preparing to Install Ubuntu" screen. It doesn't

I have a very frustrating problem with my PC. I cannot install any recent version of Ubuntu Server (or even Desktop) since 9.04 even using the text-based installer.

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.

Hi everyone, I'm new here but I've got a little bit of outdated linux know-how.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

Hi!

I have a working Ubuntu 10.04 version installed on my laptop and am trying to upgrade to 12.04 using a fresh install. I have burned the general 386, 32 bit iso on to an USB stick using the Universal-USB-installer (as mentioned in the official documentation).

I can boot from the live-usb and it seems to work fine. So, I try to install.

I just built a new computer and am attempting to install ubuntu 64 bit on it. I am able to get to the purple try ubuntu/install ubuntu/check disc to defects/... screen, but nothing I have tried will get me past there.
