Hi everybody

I'm having an unusually complicated time installing Ubuntu on a friend's Acer Aspire One.

First of all I had some problems creating the bootable usb. That being cleared and finally booted up in live usb the trackpad isn't working so I have been maneuvering with the keyboard.

Everything has been going well up until I got to the choose keyboard layout screen. I went down the list and then back again and the right hand side window got stuck on German while the left hand side worked, where I tried to choose English(US) but the right hand one wouldn't move.

After a while of trying the status is now that the bottom orange progress bar is full, the right hand window is on German, left hand is on English(US) and most disturbing of all there is a black terminal like box over the status bar that I can't seem to tab out of to the menus. Nothing seems to be progressing.

I can alt+tab to the desktop.

I have no idea what to do, please help!
