Bug Description
Default 10.04 LTS Installer video driver fails (blank screen). Video adapter GPU hardware is Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS. I can successfully install Ubuntu 9.1 on this same hardware so the problem is within the 10.04 LTS default video driver. To get 10.04 LTS installed on this system I have to begin by installing 9.1 and then install the Nvidia proprietary video driver. Then I can use Update Manager to complete the 10.04 LTS update, which avoids use of the 10.04 LTS generic video driver.

Thanks for your report, the default video driver for nvidia cards in lucid is nouveau so I'm assigning the bug to that.
