[Bug 1057793] Re: Ubuntu 12.10 beta 2 disc fails to load properly

[Påvel Nicklasson]

apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected running-unity ubiquity-2.12.2

** Description changed:

  When I start the live disc Ubuntu starts, but after a while the screen
  becomes garbled (like 1000 ants, I could not make any screen shots). The
  dock and the Dash loads. There is no mouse pointer and the screen is
  garbled. After a while Ubuntu freezes and I have to make a hard reboot.
  
  If I try to install without the live session the screen becomes garbled
  after a short while, the installation process never starts and the
  computer freezes like above.
  
  The live session and installation works if I edit the kernel with
  nomodeset and after installation edit again with nomodeset and install
  the proprietary drivers for the graphic card. After that Ubuntu starts
  properly after reboot.
  
  The machine have worked with every *buntu since at least 8.04 so this is
  a regression.
  
  Hardware:
  AMD 9650 quad-core
  Nvidia GT 120 1GB
  
  Happy to submit more information!

Title:
  Ubuntu 12.10 beta  2 disc fails to load properly

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I start the live disc Ubuntu starts, but after a while the screen
  becomes garbled (like 1000 ants, I could not make any screen shots).
  The dock and the Dash loads. There is no mouse pointer and the screen
  is garbled. After a while Ubuntu freezes and I have to make a hard
  reboot.

  If I try to install without the live session the screen becomes
  garbled after a short while, the installation process never starts and
  the computer freezes like above.

  The live session and installation works if I edit the kernel with
  nomodeset and after installation edit again with nomodeset and install
  the proprietary drivers for the graphic card. After that Ubuntu starts
  properly after reboot.

  The machine have worked with every *buntu since at least 8.04 so this
