    Question Edubuntu 7.10 desktop beta and Acer AL1713 monitor

    Testing Edubuntu 7.10 desktop beta on Mac mini
    - monitor: Acer AL1713, 17 inch

    No success in getting Live CD mode to install. I get blank screen. How to change the monitor settings?

    Do edubuntu has alternate CD, to install on text mode?

    Many thanks in advance.

    Unhappy Re: Edubuntu 7.10 desktop beta and Acer AL1713 monitor

    Tried installing using safe mode. Got this error:

    "The display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds. It is likely that something bad is going on. Waiting for 2 minutes before trying again on display :0"

    <OK>

    tried again after 2 minutes, but same problem....

    Same problem with Mythbuntu and Xubuntu 7.10 Release Canditates with a Fujitsu monitor and a home built Via CN10000 PC.
    The older Beta of Xubuntu works but not the beta of Mythbuntu am about to try Ubuntu 7.10 RC.

    Ubuntu 7.10 Release Canditate has the same problem but the previous beta does not.

    I'm having this exact same problem with regular ubuntu 7.10 running my Lenovo Thinkpad T60 Widescreen. What was the last version of the beta that didn't have this bug?
