Hi! I've been surfing on the Internet trying to fix this, but can't find it out.
I've a Dell Optiplex GX520 with dual boot (Windows and Ubuntu Studio), which hasn't expansion slot for graphic card (the PCI-e 16x slot is not included on this model). I've already installed Ubuntu Studio 14 LTS on it with integrated graphic card and worked fine, but I bought a second hand PCI nVidia GeForce FX5200 (to be able to have two monitors), and problems appeared: Windows nor Ubuntu Studio couldn't boot! They crashed and reboot everytime while the booting process. I guess that it's "too hardcore" for OS to change from PCI-e bus to PCI for graphics (because I also guess the integrated graphic card is on the PCI-e bus).
So, after reinstalling Windows, everything ok for it. But trying to boot Ubuntu Studio live, it crashes and reboot. I tried introducing in Grub the "nomodeset" command, but now it shows diagonal white lines and stop.
I suppose that I need to boot in some special way to be able to boot and install. Maybe with privative drivers will work... but first it must boot. I've tried Ubuntu 10 LTS, and it works (so I guess that I just need to do something manually first). But 12 not. So, maybe after the 10 version, Ubuntu developers changed something assuming that very few would try to install Ubuntu with a PCI GPU... I don't know.
Any suggestions for next step trying to fix this?
Cheers!
