I forgot to mention that when i first installed ubuntu the live cd did not want to start. I had to change the vga output from 1920 x 1080 to 1600 x 1200 I have a gateway 21 inch widescreen monitor that does 1680 x 1050 resolution.

I have the exact same problem. At first I fixed it when installing Gutsy. What I did was hit F6 and change the command by deleting the word quiet. Then everything worked, but on reboot since the quiet was present in the command to boot up, it stopped working. I then booted up a live cd and deleted the word quiet from the /boot/grub/menu.1st and it worked again. I then updated (and I think a new kernel was installed) but I made sure to delete the word quiet from the new grub menu. However, this time it did not fix it, and now it won't work. Any ideas?

Disabling USB keyboard and mouse support in the BIOS fixed mine.

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

Closing this for now as there have been no responses to the previous request for information/testing. To reopen, please confirm against the latest Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 release - http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download . I'm also closing the upstream Linux bug watch as there does not appear to be an usptream bug to reference. Thanks.
