[00:56] <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.
[00:57] <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
[01:00] <ryku> does cde56251d6cae5214227d887dee3bab7 sound right?
[01:05]  * jose checks for you
[01:06] <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
[01:08] <ryku> ok, yes I do have the same hash
[01:08] <jose> then it's corrupted, try downloading again (I suggest torrents)
[01:09] <ryku> Sorry, I meant that I have the same hash as the one you posted
[01:10] <jose> oh, then, is it booting?
[01:11] <ryku> Installation is successful
[01:11] <ryku> however, when I try to log in it crashes
[01:13] <ryku> I get the main screen to appear in a very low resolution, then when I try to click on anything, it just freezes
[01:15] <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
[01:16] <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*
[01:17] <ryku> ok, I'll check there. Thank you
[01:18] <wilee-nilee> ryku, Is your hardware up to the task to run ubuntu?
[01:19] <ryku> Yes, I had 12.04 running smoothly until a recent update removed my nvidia graphics card drivers
[01:22] <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?
[01:23] <ryku> I used to install the restricted nvidia drivers
[01:24] <wilee-nilee> ryku, proprietary drivers generally don't follow kernel updates/upgrades nor a distro upgrade
[01:30] <ryku> Ok, it looks like toggling the nomodeset parameter will get this to work. Thanks for the help guys!
