I still have this problem with the latest live-usb, from 2012-09-09. This presumably incorporates any updates that I installed on the previous live-usb from a couple days ago, so what must've fixed it for me (i.e., not having to use "nomodeset" any more) was the installation of the nvidia blob.
I forgot to mention earlier, when booting normally (nomodeset left unset), the Xubuntu splash screen with the progress indicator comes up normally. Eventually it stops throbbing, and after a little while the screen switches to corruption. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1043518 Title: live cd is unusable due to video degradation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1043518/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
