since the last version of ubuntu with the annoying side panel, i decided to devote the next 6 months to linux mint. well i was going to give ubuntu another try.
i downloaded the torrent of the .iso, made a disc, rebooted, tried to install and when the ubuntu screen opens, the flashing balls underneath the ubuntu logo alternate and go through the motions for a few minutes before it just freezes. balls stop blinking... it just hangs there; frozen.
so i make another disc thinking perhaps the first was a bad disc. again, the same problem.
i downloaded the .iso directly from the site this time rather than the torrent. again - same problem
i then downloaded the full DVD version from the site and made a live usb drive with UNetbootin... surprise surprise... same problem.
so right now, ubuntu 12.4 isn't looking very promising if the damn thing won't even get past the welcome screen. i've been a loyal follower of ubuntu since gutsy... i'm starting to lose faith in ubuntu and shuttleworth.
