Bug Description
8.4 runs OK. 8.10 will sometimes run from live CD but crashes quickly (attempting to use NVidia drivers or run Nautilus - ??). Install to HDD invariably fails with black screen though something seems to be running underneath
Asus motherboard with twin core AMD
Would make comment if this were my first try at Linux, I would have given up and told all my friends not to bother

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't fix it because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http:// www.chiark. greenend. org.uk/ ~sgtatham/ bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.
We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http:// wiki.ubuntu. com/DebuggingPr ocedures
At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!
