This is sufficiently similar to what I'm seeing to just tack on here instead of opening a new bug:
System: Lenovo S10 w/ bcom 43XX wireless device (like many netbooks) Booted from a 9.10 UNR on USB thumb drive. Once the live version was up and running, chose to install to HDD. Once installer loaded, the hardware-drivers app kicked off letting me know there were proprietary drivers for my bcom wireless chip. I opened hardware-drivers, selected the STA driver and clicked activate. Hardware-drivers then commenced to download and install the STA driver (currently connected via copper). once it finished, the install window closed, returning me to the hardware-drivers screen which showed the STA driver as activated w/ system needing reboot. The very next thing that happened was that the screen went black, leaving only the mouse pointer visible, and a single _ char at the top left of the screen. Most disconcerting, however, was the capslock light continuously flashing on and off. I had to power cycle the netbook to get back into the UNR installer. Sorry for not having any logs or captured data... hard to get that kind of stuff though when the system has become a brick. Once I got the little Lenovo rebooted, I went back into the installer and when hardware-drivers popped up this time, I just ignored it and went on with installing. -- similar to #466109 but happened with live USB stick on Dell 910 (ubuntu 8.04-->9.10) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/507288 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
