I tried to install Ubuntu 12.04 from a Live USB, but was unable to get into the live environment when I selected Try Ubuntu without installing option.

Then I tried again by selecting Install Ubuntu option at the Grub screen. This time I got the initial screen, but it appeared broken. So, I couldn't continue.

The hardware is an Ivy Bridge Intel processor, Intel Pentium G2020, the motherboard is Gigabyte H61M-S1, with 2GB RAM. The available hardware details of the machine, generated by CPU-Z application in windows, can be found at this link Could not get into the live CD environment, so had to use CPU-Z.

Is it a graphics, issue with the on-board graphics; if so, any way to overcome it? How can I install Ubuntu 12.04, in this machine?

Broken screen display

  • Try to make bootable USB once again, this time using **Startup Disk Creator**. **Startup Disk Creator** is available in Ubuntu only so you may have to consult some one using Ubuntu. Or you can also use **Unetbootin** but **Startup Disk Creator** is recommended.. – Saurav Kumar Apr 03 '14 at 10:49
  • you can use the alternate installer see here: http://askubuntu.com/a/442308/72216. It is (I think) the same question. – Jacob Vlijm Apr 03 '14 at 11:04
  • do you have nvidia graphics card. for my old pc with nvidia grpahics card, installation failed because of conflict with gnome based environment. so i use linux mint mate on it – aveemashfaq Apr 03 '14 at 11:26
  • @SauravKumar, I had used the bootable usb created using **Startup Disk Creator**, and that is when this error had occured. – saji89 Apr 03 '14 at 12:41
  • @aveemashfaq, No there is no nvidia graphics card, the pc has only onboard intel graphics. – saji89 Apr 03 '14 at 12:43

  • I had used the live bootable USB created using Ubuntu's `Startup disk creator` application. Is creating with `unetbootin` and different? – saji89 Apr 03 '14 at 12:42
  • yes unetbootin has a different interface at boot-time it worked fine always for me, its effective and easy to use too give it a try – Sudheer Apr 04 '14 at 03:36
