Attempting to install 10.10 Desktop Beta 1 to a MBP5,1 led to the symptoms shown in this bug for lucid: attempting to install or boot to the live CD yielded a black screen with blinking cursor.
Using the work-around (nouveau.noaccel=1 blacklist=vga16fb) allowed the live CD to boot. I then switched to the nVidia driver and the system boots fine. -- MacBook Pro 5,1 / 5,2 / 5,3 / 5,5 fails to boot into 10.04 desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546393 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
