Will I try it again? Possibly… Does this turn me away from a new Ubuntu installation in the future? Possibly… Will I most likely install it again at some point, just in case? Of Course. As Sharon called this though, it was surely a “Dorky Disappointment”. Here are some excited Screen shots I took, then wait for the final death screen just as Ubuntu was loading… So close…
Then the Flashing screen of Death…
A Flickering 3 column screen of colors, that I let go for at least 10 minutes… Did anybody else have this problem? I probably should’ve screen captured my error message (which I only got when I finally hit the power button, which brought me out of the “Screen of Death” back into the loading interface)… Something about a HP… Load error?
ANY HELP?
Most likely the driver for your video card was not installed, see how to install it from command line. Ask in the wubi forum or in the general ubuntu forum. In short you have to get network up, then install linux-restricted-modules, and then the appropriate driver for your video card.
