I've been a good Ubuntu user since 11.4 on my 64bit Dell Inspiron N4010
laptop, and everytime installed with USB stick but this time, I can't
install Ubuntu 12.10 on my laptop. I had [this issue][1] again but then the
networking solution didn't work since 12.10, so everytime it happened I
made an upgrade on my existing installation and it just worked. But now I
can't fix it, because the USB live Ubuntu is not booting up and it hangs on
the splash screen.
Here's the logs: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/isi0sgqma25iblu/DYU0L2UxU2
I can't really find anything wrong there.
I thought it might be because of my swap partition, because on any mode on
in the recovery menu(from friend recovery) it hanged on fsck, so I just
removed my swap partition and removed the /etc/fstab entry for the swap.
Not sure it was the right way, but it didn't change anything.
The USB works perfectly with a Dell Latitude E6500 laptop, even though I
get the `not a typewriter message`.
As I researched the 'cannot mount to /dev/sr0, no medium found' is also ok.
Note that I don't want to remove all my partitions and make a clean
install, that's gonna be my last resort.
Any keyboard shortcut won't after that. Up and down arrows that shows the
splash screen won't work after it's hung. `alt + ctrl + F1-7` won't do
anything. Same goes to `alt + ctrl + delete`.
One more thing is that having persistent storage or not having it, wouldn't
make any difference. I made the usb with `dd` but, same results obtained
with unetbootin or pendrivelinux.
I cross posted this to [ubuntu forums](
