I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 from live DVD and getting this strange problem. I have already done a good search in the internet, and found similar issues, but nothing exactly like what I'm having.
When I start my computer, I actually get a "dark" screen, not a black one. It appears, barely readable, 3 options (which I can only read when I select and highlight then):
Try Ubuntu without installing
Install ubuntu
check system for defects
If I choose any of them, then I get a complete black screen and must reset. I have Windows 7 already installed and plan to do a dual boot. The live DVD is read without problems on windows, which makes me think it is related to some sort of driver problem.
