** Description changed:
Hello:
This bug is from using the 2008.10 beta live CD on two workstations.
When I try to boot using the live cd, the user interface stops working near
the end of the boot sequence.
- I see the initial boot screens with the ubuntu graphical progress slider
- right at the end of the boot where the xdesktop would start the screen
goes blank and I see no further activity
I tried this with the default options and with safe mode, no difference
in booting.
The first machine:
- an x86 pc, with a nvidia 6100 graphics card installed and active
The second machine
- an x86 pc, with integrated Intel 82865G graphics -- currently Centos
is running on this machine using a graphical desktop with no issues
The machine with the nvidia card I saw green and pink bars, the Intel
graphics just displayed a blank screen. I'm sure this is related to
the xserver setup.
Is there a way to force to command mode to run the x configuration
before launching the xserver? I tried the CTRL-SHIFT-backspace and
CTRL-ALT-backspace, but it didn't do the trick.
I have a laptop with integrated Intel 965 express graphics where I've
tried the same 2008.10 beta live cd and it works flawlessly.
Sincerely,
Matt

I tried this on the release version, same issues.
When I took off the 'splash' and 'quiet' boot flags, and had safe mode, I saw
the last mesage that was visible is "Launching Ubiquity"
When I searched for other options, I tried using some vesa modes
(771,775, ...) which worked fine until either gnome display manager was
launched or the ubiquity was launched.
With the non-safe mode with no splash option there was some garbage
displayed on launch of gnome... not usable.
How can I configure the Ubuntu boot so that so it will install with a LCD
giving me reasonable output when gnome or ubiquity is launched? Where can I
find this information?
Matt

+ How do I go about doing this from the boot sequence, as I haven't yet
