Xubuntu 14.04 doesn't boot

[Paul Lenton]

Hi Lutz,

I don't know what causes the problem but I do know a workaround as I had 
a similar problem with an earlier version of *buntu.

When you see the keyboard symbol, hit Esc and this will take you too an 
old style text screen asking you what you would like to do.
Press F6 to go to advanced options and select nomodeset.

You should be able to use as normal and install like you did on the 
other machine.

After installation if you get the same problem you can force grub by 
holding Shift at startup, press 'e' to edit the relevant line on grub 
and add nomodeset after the 'quiet splash' line.
Ctrl + X will boot with those options and you should be sorted.

Cheers
