If it still doesn't work please file a bug (one of the answers in that question shows you how to do it) — Jorge Castro, Dec 16 '13 at 16:02
Issue solved. I solved it by changing the boot mode to legacyFirst. I think ubuntu should do it by default — Ranjit, Dec 17 '13 at 07:26

I had the same problem, for some reason the brightness of the screen was turned low. Click on the function key to increase the brightness (it should be in the top row on your keyboard with a sun and a plus icon). Once you increase the brightness it should work fine.
