I'm having a few issues booting Ubuntu on my Samsung NC20. I'm not trying to boot the Netbook Remix, because it requires an Atom processor, and the NC20 has a VIA Nano chipset. I've downloaded the ISO, made a bootable stick with UNetBootin, and changed my BIOS to boot primarily from USB. I also checked the ISO using M5Sum, and it seems that my files have downloaded properly. However, after I get the Ubuntu "loading" screen. My display starts painting colourful lines and flashing on and off, rendering my computer unusable. I'm wondering if this is a problem with my display drivers.... Do any of you know of a solution?

I had this error too, but I reinstalled and it went away.

Reinstalled what? I actually haven't been able to install Ubuntu because of this screen malfunction. The malfunction occurs when I try to boot from my USB to actually install...

Give the netbook remix a try if you want. It does not require an Atom processor. (That's a typo.)
