Personally I'm not sure if I'm choosing the correct package for the bug. But this bug is described in following ubuntu forum page:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1967619 This suggests that the bug is related to grub choosing a graphical mode or a font which causes the initial screen to be rendered incorrectly. I experienced this with both following iso files: http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-12.04-server-i386.iso I attempted to install from a USB drive created using "Startup Disk Creator" on ubuntu desktop 10.04.4 LTS the USB drive is a 4GB "JetFlash TS4GJFV20" the install was attempted on a Compaq Evo D510 Ultra Slim Desktop computer (Pentium 4 processor, 768 MB RAM, 40 GB HDD) As suggested in the same forum the following workaround works: 1. Boot the cmputer with the USB drive 2. When the blank screen with small grey rectangle on lower left appear wait patiently for a few minuets. 3. Press Enter 4. The small rectangle will disappear. Now wait again for a few minuets patiently. 5. Press Enter again. 6. Wait again for a few minuets patiently. The text mode installer appears. Installation can proceed normally from here. ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => grub-installer (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/989372 Title: 12.04 usb drive boot graphic problems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/989372/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
