[SOLVED] Ubuntu Installation

[For the Birds]

I'm VERY new to Ubuntu and still trying to install it on my Dell Inspiron E1505. I used the whole drive to install it and I'm able to get to the point where the system says "take the cd out and reboot". After the computer reboots I can see Ubuntu starting but then my screen goes dark. What could be causing that? I have the resolution set to the lowest available.

LCD monitor? I wonder if it's trying to pass too high a refresh rate.
Try ctrl-alt-f1, login and then:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
(you can choose defaults for most things, and set refresh rate to 50-60 Hz)

Not sure if this will work (but it shouldn't break anything).

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
