Thread: Ubuntu Server 12.04.2 Install Blank Screen

-

hey all.

i've seen several posts this, either i'm applying fixes incorrectly or fixes didn't work.

i'm trying install ubuntu server 12.04.2 flash drive. point i'm booting off flash drive , "install ubuntu server," or "install in expert mode," etc. screen. hit "install ubuntu server," , blank screen (i've let sit half hour). edited grub entry install line, default holds (note i'm typing out hand; forgive typos):

code:
setparams 'install ubuntu server'  set gfxpayload=keep linux /install/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu-server.seed quiet -- initrd /install/initrd.gz
i updated include nomodeset option (seems fix blank screen issues according numerous forum posts):

code:
setparams 'install ubuntu server'  set gfxpayload=keep linux /install/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu-server.seed nomodeset quiet -- initrd /install/initrd.gz
nothing changed: still had black screen when hit f10 boot. tried:

code:
setparams 'install ubuntu server'  set gfxpayload=keep linux /install/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu-server.seed quiet vga=771 -- initrd /install/initrd.gz
with no changes. ideas?

im having exact same problem , cant seem fix ether , tried options.

a week ago in premiere pro cs6 world. one day updated windows, next day few .mp4 video files opened in premiere pro, played fine well, except fact display has green (sometimes multicolour, solid green block) bars in lower third of screen. see screenshot below.   these same files open/display fine in after effects, photoshop , vlc- , quicktime players. i'd read fromyears ago windows updates causing this, removed 1 of therecent kb's no avail. i did install adobemediaencodertrial_64-6.0.3-mul-adobeupdate and dynamiclinkmediaserverretail-1.0.1-mul-adobeupdate and reverted quicktime 7.6 but nothing makes difference.   in end, formatted c:\, reinstalled windows 7 ultimate 64bit , downloaded/installed 260 updates , reinstalled cs6 (and aforementioned ame , dlms updates , qt7.6) it's still same problem.   also tried exporting (part of) 1 of these files, see if wasn't display problem: exported file same properties original has green bars.   what else can do?   thanks in advanc
