2008-04-27 17:37:49 Tormod Volden description I downloaded the Hardy Heron alpha 4 CD and tried booting it, choosing the default "Start or install Ubuntu" option. The CD boots fine up to the login screen, which says "User ubuntu will login in 10 seconds" and does the 10-second countdown. Then the desktop background appears, the menubars at the top and bottom of the screen briefly appear (but with a smaller font than usual), and then I'm thrown back to the login screen and the 10-second countdown starts anew. This repeats ad infinitum. This is the same hardware configuration as in #138084: an MSI RS482M4 motherboard with the VGA output of the on-board graphics connected to an iiyama ProLite E380s 1024x768 LCD display. The machine boots 7.04 without problem. I downloaded the Hardy Heron alpha 4 CD and tried booting it, choosing the default "Start or install Ubuntu" option.
