Unable to install 14.10 - Black Screen

[Johny Provoost]

First, the cd (64Bit) is alright, tried on another computer and is working.
Booting Live cd.

        -Choose Language (OK)

        -Choose Keyboard-layout (OK)

Wen I go further, a black screen appears, with a cursor on the upper right corner. The cd is reading further for a minut or two, but nothing on the screen

Tried with nomodeset, acip=off and nolapic, with same result.

Tried with No splash instead of quit splash. These are the last lines on my screen:

    -[6.970397] nouveau [DEVICE][0000:02:00.0] Boot0:0x0c1080a1

With nomodeset

    -[6.919661] nouveau [DEVICE][0000:02:00.0] Boot0:0x0c1080a1
    -[6.920729] nouveau [DEVICE][0000:02:00.0] Chipset:GF108(NVC1)

With nomodeset, acpi=off and nollapic

    -[6.907090] nouveau [DEVICE][0000:02:00.0] Boot0:0x0c1080a1
    -[6.907174] nouveau [DEVICE][0000:02:00.0] Chipset:GF108(NVC1)

I had no troubles installing 14.04 months ago. (nor with earlier versions)

My system:

    Intel Core2

    Mem: 3 GB

    Video card: Nvidia Geforce GT430

I'm working in a resolution 1680x1050 on HDMI.

btw: all above happens also with the versions 14.10 of Xbuntu en Lubuntu too. Something changed between 14.04 and 14.10 so my video card is no longer supported?
I tried installing the latest Fedora, Opensuse, and PClinuxOS and had no troubles.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I found a workaround.

I tried to install the latest PCLinuxOS and the latest Fedora an had the same problem, but there there was a item in the livecd menu to start in vesa mode. That worked. So I start searching how to start Ubuntu in vesa mode.
I'll tried with the livecd from Ubuntu-mate 14.04.1
I selected NOMODESET en after the 'quit splash' I added vga=normal. That started the live session of Ubuntu Mate in a resolution of 1024x768. I could install Ubuntu Mate.
At restarting the computer in Grub I choose 'e' to go in edit mode. and added 'nomodeset' en 'vga=normal' as extra options. (keyboard was not in be but in us, but I manage).
Mate started in 1024x768 (terrible on my screen, but at least I got something working.
Then I installed the nvidia drivers 'NVIDIA legacy binairy drivers-version 304.124' an restarted the computer.
Got my beautiful desktop back :>).
So I think the problem is probably in the nouveau drivers.
