Hello!!!
I'm a really new user to ubuntu... I have never used or saw it on a Pc or Laptop and i wanted to try it out on my Tobi ( Toshiba Qosmio X550-Q890)...

I did everything right with the usb drive guide... and i get an image of space dots and blank white stripe going vertically and horizontally, Now the weird thing is i hear the ubuntu opening sound but nothing else...

I have posted my system specs below, can anyone tell me what this means please?

Thank you!

* I am running windows on the ssd drive, the ubuntu was supposed to go on the sata drive.

Welcome to UF.
Whilst booting hold down the shift key until the grub menu appears.
With your Ubuntu installation highlighted press the "e" key
On the new screen using the arrow keys, navigate to the end of the line which currently ends with "quiet splash" (but without quotes). Using the backspace key delete "quiet splash" then type in nomodeset then press ctrl + X
Does it now boot?
