I downloaded Kubuntu the other day and burnt it to a CD. Popped it into my 2003 Toshiba TE2300 (1.5Ghz Pentium, 480MB RAM, 60GB HDD) and attempted to get started.
Got to the splash screen and selected the try out or install option. CD starts to load, but then flicks to a black screen and starts showing silly things scanning on the screen.
THe same occured with Xubuntu. For both, I downloaded the 11.04 (Natty) version.
Note that both LiveCD's work on other PC's flawlessly and that I tried the following commands after researching a bit:
- Remove quiet and splash
- Add either i915.modeset=1 or i915.modeset=0 I also tried VGA=771, that made a black screen and floppy.floppy=thinkpad didn't work either
I tried the Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD and Xubuntu 7.04 and both worked without a hitch.
What could be the problem?
