i'm new in the linux world.
while i'm installing ubuntu on my computer i have this error:
"the display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds.
it is likely something bad is going on.
.... "
i've already tried two times the installation.
i've checked the cd and it's ok.
ubuntu live without installation works.
what can i do?

What kind of graphic card do you have? What kind of monitor do you have? What's the spec of your machine?

You can try booting into recovery mode and choosing xfix.

I just thought of something else. If xfix doesn't work you can reboot into recovery mode and drop out to the root terminal and enter:
nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
When nano opens scroll down to the section that looks like this:
title Ubuntu 8.04.2, kernel 2.6.24-23-generic
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-23-generic root=UUID=19a7e596-c01b-45df-960e-4ecc77ba50df ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-23-generic
quiet
and add:
xforcevesa
to you kernel line. It should now look something like this:
title Ubuntu 8.04.2, kernel 2.6.24-23-generic
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-23-generic root=UUID=19a7e596-c01b-45df-960e-4ecc77ba50df ro xforcevesa quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-23-generic
quiet
Let us know if any of this helps.

I misread your post.:oops: Have you tried booting into safe graphics mode (it's doing the same thing, but from the live CD)?
