I tried to upgrade my 11.xx (can't remember exactly which) which crashed (I unplugged the mouse). Wouldn't reboot properly (screen displaying solid colors: red, then blue, then green, then white, then black, and back to red, blue, ... over and over).
I burned a CD with kubuntu 12.04 on it. When booting from it, I have the kubuntu CD GUI then choose "Start Kubuntu". After 10 seconds, the screen starts doing its display of solid color (see paragraph above).
The laptop is a Dell M1730 and is known to have a defective hardware 3D video board, but it has worked with kubuntu before, and I can see the CD GUI anyways, so it should be working.
Any ideas?
