hitest Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I agree. I would guess that your friend has a hardware issue, something like a video card that isn't recognized by ubuntu. Perhaps try a different live cd like knoppix and see what happens. You've made certain that the ubuntu live cd works on another computer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
