Installation issues / Blank Screen on Install DVD

« on: March 22, 2008, 01:07:02 am »

Hello all, I have searched the forums and found out there are some problems with blank screen after I have not got that far. I am trying to install the OS. I do get the screen that says KUBUNTU where I can install, Memtest, or Boot from HD. After I select Install the screen goes blank and I do not see anything again. I am running MSI M2N32-SLI Deluxe, 5600+, 4 Gigs mem, 8600 GTS 640 MB single video card. any help would be great. Cheers

Looks like I am going to go with the MSI Media Live barebones for my Directors.

Not sure about the Core. Any help would be great.

      Hello everyone, I am really glad I found this site. I have recently came back to Linux and have been playing around with streaming my media to my TV. I have been using a Netgear EVA8000 box on 1 TV. Works OK but not what I want for an end product. I started doing research on MCE. I am not fond of the way Widows MCE is. After watching some video's and reading the forums I have decided on LinuxMCE. I am moving into a new house with in 3 months and I have started the planning stage to set this up through out my whole house. Anyone have any suggestions or advice would be love to hear from you. I have set up Phase's so that I can fully use the LinuxMCE through out the house. I would really like to get some ideas of what Equipment I should buy. I do have about 6 PC's running in the house 3 of them being Ubuntu.

   For the first Phase I need to get some equipment. I want to set up a Core, 2 kids rooms with Directors that can be used as normal computer for the kids, 1 director for our living room, 1 Director for the master bedroom that we can use as a PC. I am going to set up a Gig network. Could use some help with hardware for a new install from the ground up. I will have a server closet centrally located for all the gear to be in.

Thanks everyone in advance for all the help.
