Subject: Re: [Hampshire] Ubuntu screen res during install
Hi,

I have the same problem with. 12.10 on my new laptop. It blacks the monitor and it's good night.

Have you tried downloading the "alternative" install disc from the other downloads section? That is a text based installer and shouldn't fall over.

Please let me know what you find out.

Thanks,
Paul.
