Ubuntu can't boot OCELOT LUCID

[Ryan Gauger]

Good morning, Tobias. Very good questions you have. I think I can answer 
the first half-way, and I am sure I can answer your second question. Do 
you get past the boot screen with Oneiric and Lucid? In the boot screen 
(GRUB), to boot into different operating systems (different versions of 
Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu/etc, Windows or other OS), when inside GRUB, 
select between the different operating systems by using the down and up 
keys on the keyboard. Then, press the enter/return key on the keyboard 
to boot the selected operating system. Do you know this is a VGA 
problem? If so, I have no clue how to solve this, unless you install 
drivers for VGA. If you install VGA driver software, you are installing 
this inside the operating system, not GRUB. Therefore, if this is a GRUB 
problem, the problem will still persist with GRUB, even after installing 
driver software.

For your second question, this is a Kubuntu-only support centre. Ubuntu 
questions should be asked in _Ubuntu Forums <ubuntuforums.org>_ or _Ask 
Ubuntu <askubuntu.com>_. I hope this helps!

In Christ,
Ryan
