Bug Description
I currently have Kubuntu 10.04.1 on my ASUS G60JX laptop and everything works fine, but when I try booting the live CD of the beta it goes to splash screen, and then my screen gets all sorts of screwed up, sometimes I'll see images from my desktop on Kubuntu before I rebooted, stuff like that. The only way I can boot to the live desktop is by using the nomodeset option which makes me believe that this is probably related to the nvidia drivers, my laptop has a NVIDIA GEFORCE GTS 360M
Sorry I can't be more descriptive
To post a comment you must log in.
I have a different notebook (ASUS G51J) with the same video card: nVidia GeForce GTS 360M. I have also tried the Ubuntu 10.10 beta live CD with the same result. I guess it shows some memory junk.
It looks me as if the nVidia driver used by the live CD and by default by the installed system didn't like the 360M. However if you add the xforcevesa kernel parameter before you start to install or try the system it will not crash. On the first boot choose the Recovery mode option in Grub and then select Failsafe X and start with installing the proprietary nVidia driver.
Anyway it would be nice if the Installer just worked fine. It is probably a bug in the nouveau driver.
