Hey guys.
I am having problems installing Ubuntu CE 3.3 which I just downloaded.
I get the Ubuntu screen with the progress bar... after a while the vid locks up for a second but the CD is still getting activity so I waited. It does continue. I get the tan background... there is no image in the center. It looks like there was supposed to be, but only a few lines were drawn and those were garbled. It sits here forever. The mouse worked, but the keyboard is locked (numluck doesn't work, can't ctrl alt 1 to get to a prompt). Hardware problem?
I have attached an output of 'lspci' on my box when I boot my current OS, xubuntu.
I don't know if this was a video issue or something else but here's the video:
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7800 GT] (rev a1)
And CPU lines (it is just 1 CPU but dual core):
[ 18.563527] CPU0: AMD Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 170 stepping 02
[ 18.654538] CPU1: AMD Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 170 stepping 02
[ 22.960000] powernow-k8: Found 2 Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 170 processors (version 2.00.00)
Of course all I need was boot off of your CD and select install and let it go. Looks like that didn't work so well.
Ideas??
