Today I tried the 20 Jul 2011 daily build of 10.04.3 LTS. Again, after selecting the "try Ubuntu" option at boot, the screen goes blank, the disk runs for a couple of minutes, and action stops. After some experimentation, I found I was able to ping the system from another host on my LAN at a dhcp-assigned IP address.

 I was able to issue a 'halt' command, and the live CD was ejected after several seconds. When I then closed the CD drawer and hit the Enter key, the system shut down as expected. After shutdown, there was no further response to pinging at that same IP address, which verifies the ping was indeed to that system.

So the OS is running, but there is no display.

I tried to blindly install openssh-server and create a user and password, but failed - I wasn't sure what mode the display was in.
