    Problems With 14.04 Install

    I have Ubu 14.04 on a bootable USB stick for testing...

    It boots fine, but has some display driver issues....using a Nvidia graphics card
    that exhibits the same problems I had coming from Ubu 10.04 to 12.04....zig-zag
    lines, hung screens, etc....

    question: would it be beneficial going to 13.04 from 12.04 before going to 14.04

    or is there some other sequence I should do 1st ??? 12.04 to 12.10 to 13.04 to 14.04 maybe

    TIA...Tommy

    There's a problem with nouveau for sure. I have a bug report on the System-Settings freeze. The "zig-zag" lines I only had on Kubuntu. I solved that by first boot using nomodeset and then from second boot on nouveau worked fine.

    @VMC.....thanx for quick reply...

    for clarity I have NOT installed 14.04 yet....using a "live" session to be certain
    14.04 works with my HW 1st....

    can I get to the boot screen to use nomodeset from a "live" session ??

    if so, how ??

    I see no grub menu to edit the boot file....

    I think its 'F6' and then go to the end of the line , type a space then nomodeset, thenreturn. I use loop-back and haven't used the cd/dvd install in a while.

    thanx...will try that....

    BTW...you have exactly same HW as mine...AMD Athlon K8-64 Dual Core + NvidiaGEforce 6150se graphics
    so it must be possible to make it work

    OK nomodeset worked for the display problem...

    now if I can just get my wifi working reliably I'll be happy

    have already tried blacklisting the native realTek drivers
    and running RTL8192xC_USB_linux_v3.4.4_4749.20121105.zip
    but it crashed...maybe it's for an older kernel ???

    will check the forums for wireless problems under 14.04

    Moved to Ubuntu +1.

    You do know that 14.04 will not be released until 2014, in month o4?
    Only testers that want to look for bugs should be attempting to use it. Plus the daily just opened so it is mostly just 13.10, but may change and break daily.

    Please don't create multiple threads on the same subject, I have merged your two threads.
