I've been told in ubuntu irc that using text install would be a safer
bet, but from my understanding my problem is not dependent on whether
I use the Live or the Text install CD.

To answer your question: I've just realized that I was using the
desktop amd64 bit install. I guess I should try alternate/text CD for
32 bit systems, eh?
