There are two possible CDs, one is the Desktop 'Live CD' the other is 
the Alternate CD.
They both offer  an install from the initial menu.

The display during install should be automatic. GUI with the Desktop 
CD and Text  display with the Alternate CD.

If your PC has enough RAM memory then you can see the full display  in 
running of the Live CD without installing. You can do this first, 
before the install.

At this time, you say that a installation UI appears. I do not 
understand why you ask about displaying Ubuntu?

Is it because you are using the Alternate CD only? If so then you can 
only install. You cannot use a Live CD function, it does not have one. 
If you want to see Ubuntu you have to first install completely.

A live CD is different from the Alternate CD.
