Hi all,
So i'm a total noob when it comes to ubuntu, when I try and install it on my laptop I get a purple splash screen, an underscore flashing a few times and then the screen goes completely black (with no backlight). I think the problem is with the graphics card, which is apparently not supported. I came across bumblebee, however I can't use it because I can't install ubuntu. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. The version i'm trying to install is 12.04 and the graphics card is an nVidia GT 650m.
EDIT: I also have an intel i5, so i'd assume intel integrated graphics? I'm really not sure at this point.
Many thanks,
Jack
