http://ubuntuforums.org – I'm installing Ubuntu 12.10 (64 bit) from a bootable USB stick. At first I had trouble with a black screen after selecting 'install ubuntu'. I added nomodeset and xforcevesa to the options to fix that problem. Now when installing, it hangs at 'Configuring Hardware', specifically at ubuntu ubiquity: update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-17-generic Specs: Asus UX32a DB51 Intel Core i5 3317U 1.7 GHz 4GB DDR3 RAM intel hd 4000 graphics 500 GB harddrive with 25 GB sandisk ssd I'm trying to install Ubuntu by itself right now on the SSD. I made custom partition (Hardware)

I have used the program "Universal USB Installer" to 'save' the ubuntu on my USB stick. So far - good.

When I boot the it, I get these options , but on a totally black screen and I can't use them. I choose to install, then it goes to completely black screen and nothing happens.. No install, nothing.

Hello everyone.

I would like to know how can I enable the compiz-like effects on ubuntu 12.04.

I am having difficulty installing Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit. after installing all the interfaces is very slow, even though the CPU load of about max 36%

hp probook 4540s Intel Core i7 3632QM with Intel HM76 Express DDR3 12Gb AMD Radeon HD 7650M + Intel HD Graphics 4000

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 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 recently tried installing the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 12.04 along side a 32-bit version of Ubuntu 11.10. But after completion of installation, the system always directly boots to the 11.10 version.

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.

Hi. I have an Asus UX32VD 6 gb ram hd400 and nvidia 620m graphics. I am starting the installation but after the selection (try or install ubuntu) it's waiting at black screen. So i cant install. Please help i dont like windows.

(i tried all of the options at startup screen. Noacpi, nomodeset etc... did not work)

Using ATI Flgrx drivers 35 weeks 16 hours ago

after installing ubuntu 12.04 i had the problem that i had a black screen directly after rebooting. So i used the grub option "nomodeset" to get an screen. I installed the recommended flgrx drivers and disabled the nomodeset option. Still can't use my graphics card. Also the option "xforcevesa" does not solve my problem.

I would need 3D enabled because i need blender to work.
