    Please people I need help ! Thanks.

    I am trying to install Ubuntu in a ideapad u330 and I get this black screen with this information:

    Linux Ubuntu 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP fri Oct 24 06:40:41 UTC 2008 x86_64
    The programs included with the Ubuntu system are free software;

    It may be you installed the mimimal installation - if so, all you get is that black screen with a command prompt.

    Type

    Code:
     startx
    and press Enter just to see what happens.

    Did you install the server CD? If you did,

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
    will get you set up.

    You can also try hitting the F4 key when the live menu comes up and select safe graphics mode, sometimes this helps
