Hello, I am trying to install ubuntu on a emachines D2386 computer
---specs: 512mb ram-------------
intel celeron 2.30ghz processor
windows xp pro installed
----------------------
the problem is here i loaded wubi on the desktop and hit install it fully installed ubuntu tells me to reboot so i reboot and then when it asks me to choose which OS i chose ubuntu it loads up with a flashing _ this usually happens when i have something in my drives so i checked to see if anything like a cd or a usb storage was connected there was not so i was suprised to see this on my screen.
anytime i would try to load ubuntu from the os choices menu it would come up with the flashing _ Can someone please reply and try to help? Thank you.

Hi and welcome to the forums :-)

This is likely a graphics issue.
