Hi John OK, fair enough. It may be helpful to buy a new cable for your camera, if you have no other way of downloading the files. Many cameras take a standard USB "A to mini B" cable that you can get quite cheaply from high-street electronics stores (but obviously check that your camera is one of these "many"!). If we can't solve this easily, it may be helpful to see in more detail the things you're describing.
I think it may be some sort of problem with the graphics--does the blue box look quite clunky and square, with monospace (all characters the same size) text at low resolution? Does it have any other information to indicate what it might be? Intel graphics usually works quite well on Linux. I did a quick search on your chipset, and it seems there were some problems, but they generally seem to be quite a long time ago. I think the best thing to try is if you can find a way to boot into a command line (can you quit the box and get to one? is there an option somewhere on the liveCD?). I think you should then try to reconfigure X, using the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973 If that works, then hopefully when you start GDM, it will work properly (although you may need to follow the same again process after installation). Glad to hear you're keen--determination pays off ;-) -- brown screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/236236 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
