Hello,

I've downloaded both Kubuntu and Ubuntu and tried to install them. Both methods (wubi and cd).

However I encounter the same problem, I think it's a graphic crash because I see some patern of pixels right after it loaded.

I've made a pic (here) (http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/261199_245626455450319_100000089002863_1093936_427 5477_n.jpg) using my phone.

However this problem doesn't occure in Ubuntu 8.04 (8.04 because I ordered some CD at that time).

An option would be to install 8.04 then upgrade till the latest, but I'm worried about encoutering the problem right after that.

Some specs:

AMD Athlon II X4 3.0 GHz
2 GB RAM DDR2
NVidia 240GT
160 GB HDD

Any help is appreciated.

PS: I've tried the 64bit versions.
PS2: 11.04 x32 works in Virtual Box.
