Me and my flat mate both have problems installing ubuntu 11.04
my problem is that i get the black screen when trying to install, i have read loads of "fixes" that say to use nomodeset and some other things like that, and none of them seems to work it just fills the screen with text that turns yellow than dissapear before i can read what it sais. then i get into a terminal, and i don't really know where to go from there...
my flat mate have the same problem except he got stuck at the loading screen rather than the black screen. but however when putting in ubuntu 10.04 and doing the fix it worked for him while 11.04 did not
for me nether 11.04 nor 10.04 worked and i had to install windows in order to install ubuntu from there as dualboot. but i do not want to run dualboot tho..
i got 2x HD 5850 gfx cards while he got a laptop with a nVidia card.
please if anyone knows how we can install ubuntu 11.04 without having to run dualboot and stuff please awnser most fixes seems to be how to get past black screen when booting AFTER the installation rather than during, and those about how to do it during all say to use nomodeset wich does not work.
edit: when installing 10.04 he gets error copying files to harddrive
