Dear all,
I'm trying to install Kubuntu 9.10 in a Dell Optiplex 740, AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual without any success.
I've a Windows XP SP3 running and I wanna have a dual boot machine.
After booting from Live CD I choose the language and then hit install. After that the screen goes black with a blinking cursor on the top left. Doing some research it looks like it is related with my video driver (Nvidia Quadro NVS 210S). I've tried several options:
1) 32-bit desktop (didn't work)
2) 64-bit AMD (didn't work)
3) both cited above with "nosplash" option (didn't work)
4) 64-bit AMD alternate text-based installer (didn't work). By the way, there is no option "text based install ...or something?!", just install like the other cds.
5) all images I've downloaded were checked with MD5 sums.
I don't know what to do. After hit install I've always the same black screen with the blinking cursor.
I'd appreciate any help on this.
Thank you
