This also affects my laptop. The bug also happens installing from a USB pen-drive.
The workaround is removing the "splash --" boot option and maybe adding the vga mode "vga=xxx" which corresponds to your monitor (see Linux video mode numbers in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions). After doing this, you are still welcome by a black screen but after a while (a pretty long while if you are using the live CD), the KDE splash screen finally appears. For Alpha 3: The LiveCD is perfectly usable and the installation proceeds without further complications. The system has been pretty stable this far, with the exception of a few minor KDE bugs. -- Cannot boot 64-bit Karmic Live CDs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/519123 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
