[ubuntu] LiveUSB boots only terminal

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello, I have created a liveUSB of Ubuntu 11.10. It works well on my home computer, after selecting Ubuntu in GRUB it loads on and runs. But, when I put the USB into school computer, it loads GRUB, then I choose ubuntu 11.10 and it starts loading. But, it does not boot into a graphical interface, with the login screen, but only gives me a terminal line on a black screen. Why is it not working on school computer as well as on mine? Is it because of different graphics drivers? Thanks for help. (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] LiveUSB boots only terminal

hi everyone i've download the .iso file and then create liveusb with "liveusb-creator" but in time of installation it does not booted -BIOS setting is fixed for removable first boot -i have windows 7 and ubuntu 12.4 in my computer (computer booted with grub) any idea?:confused:

Finished installing Ubuntu 10.10 in my XPS15, intel i5 4g ram, nvidia GT 420M graphics card,

problem is when i go to additional drivers, the driver listed (Nvidia accelerated graphics) when I install it and reboot it the computer starts on the terminal, no graphic interface.

I have my TV connected to my computer (Ubuntu 9.10) through a s-video plug on my vga card. When I turn on my computer the bios and all that come up and so does grub and the splash screen...but as soon as X loads the monitor goes blank!

I've tried changing the resolution but nothing works. Any help here would be very appreciated.

I've got a problem when booting:

I see the GRUB screen where I can choose what exactly to boot into - after hitting Enter my screen simply shows me that purplish background and after some seconds it shows me the Ubuntu logo with the logo dots in a pretty low resolution (my guess would be 640x480); it then loads quickly and takes me to the login screen.

Ubuntu 12.10 boot issues 24 weeks 1 day ago

So I installed Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit in a new partition alongside windows 7 in my laptop with a swap partition and whenever I boot I see the Grub boot screen where I can select windows or Ubuntu.

Now the trouble comes if I select to boot Ubuntu then the computer takes me to a purple screen and I hear the ubuntu drum noise, but there is no login screen and I can't access the terminal.

Hi, I would like to run Ubuntu just from the CD but that doesn't seem to work. I have a HP Computer with Windows 7 currently, I have downloaded and burned Ubuntu on a CD and rebooted. Startup loads the ubuntu GNU GRUB system, but it is different than what it was on my old computer.

Hello,

I installed Ubuntu 9.10 3 days back and things worked fine. I have dual boot setup and GRUB loads properly. Yesterday, I tried upgrading the proprietary nVIDIA 3D graphics drivers from 173 to 185 (recommended). The installation failed and I didn't think much of it.

While in the midst of installing a program to Ubuntu, my computer froze. After reboot, I can get nothing but a black screen filled with commands to try after Grub>.

I've just tried to install ubuntu 12.04 dual boot OS with Windows 7 and it finished installing in ubuntu. However, it said that the bootloader "grub.." failed to install. The same exact problem here I receive the error 'grub-install /dev/sda failed' while attempting to install Ubuntu as the computer's only OS. .
