I burned Kubuntu and Ubuntu 10.04 on CD's, booting them both as LiveCD's both ends with a blank screen.
They expect end users to deal with this, editing GRUB files?
Ubuntu worked on this machine for years.

Hi
It looks like the driver is using the wrong connector as the primary. I have an ATI Radeon 5850 with two screens connected.
The X seems to be displaying on the secondary screen instead of the first one. The first screen is blank.
I burned 4 before I finally figured it out (with lots of help)
and it was even easier than everyone thought...
have you done this..
When the cd starts, and gets to the Purple screen with the [keyboard]=(human) icons at the bottom...
when you see that screen, hit spacebar...
and just continue on normally from there..
if you havent already done that, give it a try..
it made a wordld of difference...
from 4 cd's going blank and giving me nothing...
to a fully installed perfect working lucid...
and all i had to do was hit spacebar to get to the 'install' screen.
weird, but it worked.
i have the same problem but i don't have any ATI Cards !!!
its an old built in Intel Card . it was working fine on karmic
i tried to install it with nomodeset it installed . but the first boot grub doesnt show !!! it automaticly gows to the logo and then the blank screen
Just wanted to give nucleuskore another "thanks". That was really painful, and yet so simple to resolve.

Same thing here.
Trying the LiveCD on a Dell Latitude D400 which runs 9.10 just fine. This laptop has Intel 855GM chipset.
I am really really surprised at this blank screen problem.
I tried the suggestion about hitting the spacebar. Didn't make any difference.
Tried nucleuskore's suggestion. Didn't make any difference.
Ends up at blank screen at start up.
Not sure where to go from here.

Dell Precision M6300 laptop - Windows 7 / Ubuntu 12.04
IBM Thinkpad 600E laptop - Puppy Linux 4.3.1
Updated my 9.10 64 bit and got the black screen (but ubuntu is running "underneath" that black veil as witnessed by a blind log in that worked and made appropriate sounds). Could not get it (video) working properly. Installed fresh - works perfectly. Go figure.
