Kubuntu 8.10 Beta installation program doesn't start on Dell Latitude D630

[Robert Karbowiak]

Installation program doesn't start (either in default graphics mode or in safe mode chosen manually). After choosing the “Install Kubuntu on the computer” system starts and hangs just after launching X server. Only x-shaped mouse cursor can be seen is on the dark gray screen (cursor could be moved by mouse).

This seems to be working for me in a virtual machine, so I think it's a hardware-specific problem rather than an installer problem. Does the live CD start up if you select "Try Kubuntu"? If so, what happens if you click on the "Install" icon on the desktop?

Thank you for quick response. I'll check this today and send back
information about system behaviour.

Best regards
Robert

I checked 'Try Kubuntu' option. System starts and I can run 'Install'
program - 'Ubiquity' starts.
