can`t install ubunto :(

[foo_master]

I have downloaded ubunto 9.10 32bit, burned it and restarted. I can enter the boot menu, but when i select "install ubunto" the display goes black.
I can hear the dvd-drive working, like its installing, but I get nothing on my display, even after working all night.

I have tryed to install it through windows xp, where it installs just fine, when I restart, I get the multiboot screen. When i select ubunto, the display goet black.

To me it seems like ubunto is just not supporting my grafic card.

I have tryed ubuntu 9.10 , ubuntu 8 LTS and kubuntu 9.10, but all goes black :(

My laptop is a acer travelmate 4001LCi

please help....

Try booting the LiveCD in 'Don't alter my computer' mode. That will point out most graphic card issues.

are you using a lcd monitor? I had a similar problem, wubi wouldn't install at all however, it turned out that I needed a crt monitor connected during install to get the display drivers set up right. If it can't detect the monitor settings it just defaults to really bad ones which my laptops, compaq r4000, screen could not display.

On boot hit F4 and choose safe graphics mode. see here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions). This will allow you to install to a dedicated partition from the Live CD. if that does not work because of graphics issues then use the alternate text based installer here (http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate).

I know it's not a big deal, but just to let you know ubuntu is spelled with a u at the end not o. Easy to mistake to make, especially when your new to the desktop.
