I am trying to install Ubuntu in a ideapad u330 and I get this black screen with this information:

Linux Ubuntu 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP fri Oct 24 06:40:41 UTC 2008 x86_64
The programs included with the Ubuntu system are free software;
the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the
individual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright.

Ubuntu comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by
applicable law.

It may be you installed the mimimal installation - if so, all you get is that black screen with a command prompt.

Type


startx

and press Enter just to see what happens.

Did you install the server CD? If you did,


sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

will get you set up.

You can also try hitting the F4 key when the live menu comes up and select safe graphics mode, sometimes this helps
