Kubuntu GUI shows up as garbage
I downloaded the install CD for Kubuntu Dapper. The install menu opened fine, and I selected install Kubuntu. It loaded stuff for a while, and *phuff*, suddenly the screen was full of garbage.
After some googling I found a page that suggested downloading the alternate CD in case installing fails. I did so, and the text-based install worked fine. When it was time to boot into the new installation, the same garbage appeared again. I've tried some googling but I can't really find anything useful... Perhaps you could give me some ideas. My machine is AMD Athlon 64 3700+ 1G of RAM XFX's GeFore 6600-based PCI-E video card w/ 256M of memory Asus A8N5X motherboard w/ nForce4 Thanks in advance EDIT: I managed to boot into Kubuntu by selecting "Start Kubuntu in safe graphics mode" or something like that. However, this seems to be run from the CD. Is there any way I could use my installation on the hard drive in this mode? I found this http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=187177 I can't get to the command line when I boot up into the real installation. Any remedies for this? |
Gah, that was so stupid. I got to the command line, and did what was suggested in the thread my own link points to. It seems to have solved the problem.
