Picking the Safe Video option at Ubuntu's boot does seem to fix it, but now I can't get into the OS, it's there are the desktop, but I can't control it with keys or the mouse.

What do I miss out with the Safe video option anyway?

Finished installing, read the rest of the page. Everything works!

A guide to use the command line has never been this easy and acctually worked.

The worst newbies out there, just read what that dude says and it'll work.
