trying 10.04 live CD blacks out my monitor ?

[Browser_ice]

I was checking out the ubuntu 10.04 live cd before deciding to install it but after choosing to try it ou, my monitor just stays black. I cannot see anything, nothing happens. If I do a ctl-alt-delete it does a shutdown (I see the shutting down progress bar).

I tried with the xubuntu 10.04 live cd and the same thing happens. I checked both CDs md5sum and they are good (matching what they are supposed to be).

Is there a change in how 10.04 handles ATI video cards ? My guess is something not working with my ATI Radeon 9600XT.

Can this be fixed or do I have to forget every new releases since 10.04 ???

Try downloading another image from the Ubuntu website and burn it into a dvd. Make sure you select the right format for you i386 and /or amd64 and play with it see if problems persist. This happened to me a while ago and this solved my issue. It was the live cd and not my hardware as I thought back then.

Good Luck

all previous versions work OK on my PC. I wanted to install a fresh 10.04 (used the trial option first).

RIght now, answering you with 9.04 xubuntu live cd.

I had burned both 32bits version of 10.04 ubuntu/xubuntu.

MD5 checksum checks out ok so the CDs are not the problem

That doesn't really have anything to do with burning at the lowest speed.

ok, I will reburn both live cds at lowest speed and try it again.

I read your fist post and see you already posted your Graphics card.

No I haven't seen anything about ATI. It's mainly Nvidia and Intel that are having problems.
