Hello :)
I am trying to get Ubuntu going on a second computer, however i am getting stuck right at the beginning - starting the Live CD.
The machine in question is a Pentium 4 2400, 512 MB RAM, with a GeForce 6200 AGP graphics card.
I have tried this with Hardy 8.04 ("normal" and "Safe Graphics") as well as Gutsy 7.10 (every available graphics mode), and get the same result all the time:
Splash screen comes, starts rolling, and in the end (which is where i suppose X would start) the screen just turns off and the computer doesn't do anything anymore - not even Caps Lock works, i guess it just crashes hard.
A Windows-"test install" went thru without hassle, so the hardware is fine.
Is there a solution for this?
With kind regards.....
