Ok, for the past 3 days i have tried everything i can find on the internet to get ubuntu to work.
I am running a brand new Hp Dv4 laptop.
I have downloaded, and installed Ubuntu. When i go to boot it, it takes me to a page where it says it needs to finish the install, and counts down from 5. If you let it complete that, it will go to a black page and sit there forever. Push ctrl + alt + del, and it will take you back to the page where you can choose Windows 7 or Ubuntu.
Go back to ubuntu, this time when it counts down i push Esc, and i have several choices. I have tried them all with the same results, except Demo mode. In demo mode, i get a black screen, and the sound of drums. But it still just sits there.
I have tried doing ctrl +alt + f1 in each of the different modes, nothing. Just a black screen.
I have out of ideas :(
Any help?
