Bug Description

I installed Ubuntu Studio from the DVD and when prompted to install the proprietari ATI driver for the HD 6850 video card which I use, the whole system crashed. This also happened with Ubuntu 10.10 the 32 bit version.

I tried different solutions gathered from the Internet but none worked. I like Ubuntu better than any other distribution (including Windows 7 64 bit) and I hope this bug is fixed soon. If you have a resolution, please send it. Thank you!
