http://ubuntuforums.org – Iam trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop edition. I downloaded it from Ubuntu releases page using torrent file( Ubuntu Live DVD). When I start install with the option Try ubuntu choosen, it hangs at purple screen. Iam able to switch by pressing Alt+Ctrl+F1. Instead if I choose, Install ubuntu option, it hangs with a blank screen which just shows a mouse cursor. In this case also Iam able to switch by pressing Alt+Ctrl+F1. Please help me, Iam struggling to install for the past one month.:( (Hardware)

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).

Hello guys,

I am a windows 7 (64 bit) user and wanted to try out Ubuntu on my laptop.

I downloaded Ubuntu Desktop 12.04LTS (64 bit) on my USB and and followed http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/...ick-on-windows to create a bootable USB stick.

I have a UEFI PC with the following specs:

AMD Trinity A10 Quad Core 3.4 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 1.5 TB HDD.

My problem is that when I boot from the Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit install disc, I get to the EFI bootloader with the option to Install Ubuntu. I scroll over "Install Ubuntu" and press Enter. From here, the screen just goes black and the installation hangs there.

I am running ubuntu 11 on my home desktop, which was dual booted with Windows 7, and all was working great.

Today, I was trying to install Ubuntu 12 to an external USB hard drive. I put in my Ubuntu 12 disk, restarted, went through the install process setting up partitions on the external drive, etc etc. I am now having the hanging problem on the purple screen.
