Bryce, thanks for the follow up with my video issues. I created a Lucid boot disk, tested it on another computer (the burn and content was verified) and tried it with this currently unusable presario. Here's what happened when I tried 10.04 desktop amd64 boot disk:
Compaq screen (always first allowing shift into BIOS or other troubleshooting) Purple ubuntu screen (with two small white icons on the bottom) black screen with white blinking underscore in top left corner for 8 secs Screen goes to horizontal pixel garbage while CD is active and HD light is active as well for about another minute. Ideas? -- ubuntu 9.10 screen displays colored pixel garbage and system hangs on shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/505213 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
