I am still experiencing the problem with 8.04 beta, everything fails same as before (boot from livecd, choose English, choose try without installing, see marquee, see progress bar go almost all the way to the right, and then the problem occurs). However, afterwards, I was able to login with CTRL-ALT-F2 and use the command line. When I try startx, I get "no screens found error". Therefore, I really looks to me like johnwren was right about this bug being a red herring.
My computer is an Averatec 3255, a relatively old AthlonXP notebook, not 64-bit in any way. -- [fixed in alpha6] hardy install alpha5 loops: broadcom: no firmware file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188282 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
