Blank Screen

[darkH0rse]

I am trying to start using 10.10 off of the Live CD. When I boot from the CD, I am able to get as far as the language select screen. When I click "Try Ubuntu without making any changes", the screen adjusts and flickers a little bit, and then goes dark.

I can hear the CD being read and the computer stays on, so it seems like there is some type of issue with the graphics. But I have no problem with the graphics when its on the first screen. Any suggestions?

When you get to Try Ubuntu without making any changes", screen press F6 and select nomodeset ( select it with the spacebar ). See if that works.

Unfortunately, this doesn't do anything. I press F6 and nothing happens and then the screen proceeds to go blank. Pressing F6 after it goes blank doesn't do anything either.

wojox: that worked for me on the oddball system I just installed on - thanks
