Hey all.
I've seen several posts about this, but either I'm applying their fixes incorrectly or their fixes just didn't work.
I'm trying to install Ubuntu Server 12.04.2 from a flash drive. I get to the point where I'm booting off the flash drive and get to the "Install Ubuntu Server," or "Install in expert mode," etc. screen. I hit "Install Ubuntu Server," and immediately get a blank screen (I've let it sit for a half hour). So I edited the grub entry for that install line, which by default holds (note that I'm typing this out by hand; forgive typos):
I updated it to include the nomodeset option (seems to fix blank screen issues according to numerous forum posts):
Nothing changed: I still had the black screen when I hit F10 to boot. I also tried:
with no changes. Any ideas?
