| ryku | I'm having issues trying to a do a clean install of 13.04 64bit on my desktop from a USB drive. I can't even get the try ubuntu to work. | 00:56 |
|---|---|---|
| ryku | I'm not sure where to start to fix this | 00:57 |
| jose | ryku: did you MD5 check the ISO? | 00:57 |
| ryku | no, I'll do that now | 00:57 |
| ryku | does cde56251d6cae5214227d887dee3bab7 sound right? | 01:00 |
| * jose checks for you | 01:05 | |
| jose | ryku: not at all | 01:06 |
| ryku | oops, hold on | 01:06 |
| ryku | let me check that again | 01:06 |
| jose | 8d72e2db7e72e13813731eab37a14d26 should be your hash | 01:06 |
| ryku | ok | 01:06 |
| jose | otherwise, your ISO is corrupted | 01:06 |
| ryku | ok, yes I do have the same hash | 01:08 |
| jose | then it's corrupted, try downloading again (I suggest torrents) | 01:08 |
| ryku | Sorry, I meant that I have the same hash as the one you posted | 01:09 |
| jose | oh, then, is it booting? | 01:10 |
| ryku | Installation is successful | 01:11 |
| ryku | however, when I try to log in it crashes | 01:11 |
| ryku | I get the main screen to appear in a very low resolution, then when I try to click on anything, it just freezes | 01:13 |
| wilee-nilee | !nomodeset | ryku | 01:15 |
| ubot93 | ryku: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 01:15 |
| wilee-nilee | ryku, try a low graphic boot | 01:15 |
| ryku | how can I do a low graphic boot? | 01:16 |
| wilee-nilee | ryku, click the link I triggered the bot yoou. | 01:16 |
| wilee-nilee | you* | 01:16 |
| ryku | ok, I'll check there. Thank you | 01:17 |
| wilee-nilee | ryku, Is your hardware up to the task to run ubuntu? | 01:18 |
| ryku | Yes, I had 12.04 running smoothly until a recent update removed my nvidia graphics card drivers | 01:19 |
| ryku | I decided just to upgrade, and now it seems same graphics card issues | 01:22 |
| wilee-nilee | ryku, YOu running drivers from nvidia rather than the repos? | 01:22 |
| ryku | I used to install the restricted nvidia drivers | 01:23 |
| wilee-nilee | ryku, proprietary drivers generally don't follow kernel updates/upgrades nor a distro upgrade | 01:24 |
| ryku | Ok, it looks like toggling the nomodeset parameter will get this to work. Thanks for the help guys! | 01:30 |
