nouveau is the open-source driver for Nvidia cards:

Your booting problem is most likely not related to this issue. It seems to me like your issue is with the X server (graphics) not correctly starting.

As this is a bug report for a specific problem that is likely unrelated to your installation problem, I suggest seeking more general installation help from better sources, such as IRC:

or general installation help:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation

Finally, if you are new to Linux, it is probably better for you to try installing the Ubuntu Long-Term-Support (LTS) release. The current LTS release is Xenial 16.04, which you can download here:
