Hi,
I'm attempting to install Hardy on my laptop (HP Compaq 6715s) using Wubi. I've selected KDE5 and all installed Ok on the windows side. I then proceeded to reboot when requested and selected Kubuntu from the Grub menu, the boot loading screen did its blue bar loading thing. I was then however greeted with a black screen, the screen isn't dead as you can see the backlight...its just black.
Anyone any ideas to why this could be happening and how I could possibly solve it? I'm running an ATI Radeon X1250 (Mobile) and an AMD Sempron (also mobile). I did previously boot from the LiveCD and after a long long wait (In excess of 30mins) I reached the gnome and graphics were all working ok, I couldn't however install as I was presented with the same black screen...I gave up waiting and rebooted to try installing using Wubi.
Any help would be much appreciated, many thanks.
// Edit: I also tried using Ctrl+Alt+F1 though to F8 to try and get a terminal etc...all remained at a black screen.
