Bug Description
No display was seen after install of ubuntu using wubi and running ubuntu within Windows.
This PC will run the same live CD ok but needs the Safe Graphics mode otherwise no display is seen. When ubuntu is run after wubi install it seems that the graphics card cannot talk to the flat screen monitor. The monitor is a recent addition, the graphics card is an older one, probably a low spec.
Ubuntu (wubi) 8.04 RC Desktop i386
When choosing to install ubuntu Within Windows (using wubi) I cannot find a safe graphics option - or any mention of graphics.
The wubi installed ubuntu appears to b erunning normally apart from the lack of display - he sounds suggest it is running, an dafter th eaudio prompt, the user can apparently log in ok. (still no display).
ctrl alt F1 gives a normal terminal screen and sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf can examine th efile.
However I have no idea about what to do (version 8.04 hardy RC) to modify the graphics settings.
After selecting "Ubuntu" at reboot, press "ESC" to get a list of booting options, one of them is safe graphic mode
