- Trying to install Ubuntu11.10 Desktop 32 bit on a HP Pavilion HPE h8xt desktop PC. I boot from the CD, the install looks like it it starting, but then basically nothing. I first see a purple screen with 3 icons along the bottom. A PC or drive icon maybe then a little rectangle, then a man inside a circle.
- Then the screen changes and shows "Ubuntu" with 5 dots underneath it. The dots are changing color from white to red, going back and forth, like a progress bar.
- It does that for about a minute, then the screen changes to some text in the upper left, for about 3 seconds with info about mounting a network..., then changes to an all black screen with just a mouse pointer.
- And it stays like that. No messages, no errors, nothing. I let it sit there, maybe 10 minutes, and nothing. No change. Just the mouse pointer. I eventually power cycle the PC and have tried the install 3 times, and each time it does the same thing.
Anyone get Ubuntu to install on these PCs?
