I have installed ubuntu so many times on different computers with out problems but now I am trying to install ubuntu on an ASUS X50RL that I just got given and, well, ... it wont work.

I go through all the installation setup and get to the ready to install screen I click on install but the install bar flickers up then quickly disappears and I am returned to the Who are you? screen Step 7

I really cant think what Is wrong and any help would be really appreciated.

Sounds like a bug in ubquity (the GUI installer). Maybe try a text-mode install using the alternate CD instead? The endpoint is the same, but it might get around the glitch, or at least give you better diagnostic information.

It still didnt work and It would just not proceed with installation.

I then installed mint linux with no problems at all which is weird because it is built all on the same system, very puzzling
