Hi, I was just searching this topic and found this thread, as I have an Inspiron 1501 and was just having this problem trying to install Linux Mint 15.
I'm downloading Ubuntu 13.04 now and will try a live USB of that and let you know the results. I'm starting with the standard release, but will also test the development release you linked to above. Not sure I can do all the tracking you asked for, as I'm not a developer, but will see what happens. thanks, Randy Earl -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/572521 Title: vertical coloured lines on bootup dell inspiron 1501 (still in 13.04) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/572521/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
