i am having a problem with the final release of 32 bit Lucid. When I try to use the desktop installer I get the Ubuntu logo and then the screen goes black. I tried using the alternate installer and was able to install, however I get the same black screen when Ubuntu tries to boot. The computer is a old Dell Inspiron 700m with a Intel video card, and it ran perfectly with 9.10. I know that my CD was fine because I used it on another computer and the install went fine.
I have not even been able to get to a command line so far to get more information so sorry for not providing much. If someone can tell me how I can get to a command line and any information needed I am happy to provide it.

The same problem! From CD to 10.04 do not install, hang and all.
After installing the first 9.10, then upgrade to 10.04, after the reboot - black screen. Boot via safe mode with failsafeX - issued a message "(EE) Failed to load module "i810" (module
does not exist, 0). "
Try "modprobe i810", such as error-free, added modprobe i810 in /etc/rc.local and performed dpkg-reconfigure xorg
After that was already at boot splash display, then again the same black screen.
Notebook, Dell Inspiron 700m (512 Mb RAM, 1.8 GHz, Video: Intel Extreme Graphics 855 GM)
Sorry for my bad english.
