Hi, I downloaded the 32bit Desktop version of Ubuntu 10.10 from the website and burned the ISO to a DVD and I want to install it on a PC.
Now my understanding is that when you boot from the DVD it should boot a Live CD version of Ubuntu and give you the option to try it or install it correct?
When it boots from the DVD it takes me to a desktop with a taskbar at the top with what looks like a power button in the upper right corner and a speaker icon next to it... and that's it. It does nothing else. I don't get the splash screen, and while I do have a mouse it doesn't doe anything, and clicking on the "power" button does nothing. I just have to shut the PC off.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
