This is how I managed to get Ubuntu 8.04 AMD64 Beta 1 installed on my Dell Latitude D630.
Boot live CD, selected UK, Pressed F3 to select keyboard layout, selected UK. Pressed F6 to specify boot options, added 'vga=769' (without the quotes) to the end of the line and pressed enter. It then booted perfectly into the live CD. I was then able to perform an install normally. However, after the install completed, it rebooted into a black screen. So I rebooted again (ctrl-alt-del) and selected recovery mode (the second item in the grub boot menu). When it had booted into the recovery menu I selected 'xfix' from the list. When that had completed I selected 'resume boot' and was able to login. I then enabled the proprietary nvidia drivers and rebooted. Everything has been fine since. -- livecd gdm failure after low-graphics dialog https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194187 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
