Hi,
I'm trying to check out the new Ubuntu release but run into trouble.
The first thing I tried is installing it into a KVM VM. This works but whenever I move the mouse on the Ubuntu desktop Xorg CPU usage goes to 99% basically making the desktop unusable.
The second thing I did was to write the ISO to a USB stick and boot the machine from that. This works and I get the grub menu but when i select to just live-boot the cd without installing it I just get a *beep* sound from the speaker and get back to the menu. This also happens when I just let the menu countdown to 0. A *beep* from the speaker and the countdown starts over again in a loop.
How can I test Ubuntu without killing my currently running system?
