14.10 installs no problem. Running is a different kettle of fish :)
However, when booting the system, instead of getting white letters on a
black screen, all you get is a big white screen with a little black
squiggle at the top left hand screen - presumably the cursor.
A potential workaround - to pass "nomodeset" to the Kernel was suggested. I've
done some digging around and have succeeded in getting the GRUB screen up and
editing the file so that "nomodeset" was being passed to the Kernel. However, I
might not be editing the correct line in the GRUB config file. In GR?UB I
select the Kernel with the "e" key and edit a line that looks roughly like
this:-
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-23-generic root=UUID=etc ro quiet splash $vt_handoff
initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-23-generic
and change it to
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-23-generic root=UUID=etc ro quiet splash $vt_handoff
nomodeset
initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-23-generic
Pressed CTRL+x to boot into the system. Back to the same big white
screen again!
Hardware details:-
Dell Optiplex GX50, 1.3GHz Celeron, 512MB RAM, 20GB Hard disc, CD-ROM- drive,
Floppy disc drive, Intel 810 chip set.
