Hi
Tried to run, in order
- Ubuntu 12.04 LiveDVD (64-bit Desktop): Burnt to DVD and booted from disk
- Ubuntu 12.04 LiveCD (64-bit Desktop): Written to USB stick via usb-creator
and booted from USB
- Xubuntu 12.04 LiveCD (64-bit Desktop): Written to USB stick via usb-creator
and booted from USB
In each case, got the same behaviour
- System would boot from the disk/ USB
- Would be presented with the splah/ progress screen (the one with the dots on
plain background for Ubuntu and bouncing progress bar with background image for
Xubuntu)
- After that screen would fill up with coloured noise, random black/ coloured
pixels all over the screen
- Unable to do anything other than a hard reboot
This was with using an old NVidia GT 240 card (which works fine with Lucid
10.04.4 64-bit Desktop). Complete system specs:
- Intel C2D E7200 || Intel DG33FB mobo || 4 GB RAM || 64 bit Lucid Desktop ||
WD Caviar Black 1TB, Green 2TB
- Palit Sonic GT 240 (OC'd NVidia card) || Dell U2412M Monitor || Logitech
Quickcam Connect || Acer 3300U Scanner
Next I went into BIOS and forced it to use the onboard Intel graphics
(Intel DG33FB board with Intel GMA 3100 graphics) and Xubuntu booted up
fine and got into the desktop with no problems. Launched a few apps and
all seems fine.
Based on my advanced analytical skills (!) I conclude there is a problem
with the graphics driver on the LiveCD/DVD in Ubuntu/Xubuntu.
