I am trying to install Ubuntu 13.10. I get just a blank screen after I press Try Ubuntu without installing. I was thinking it would be an issue with nomodeset, but when I press F6 on the screen with Other Options, nothing happens.

Istead of selecting anything, hit E to get the the startup script. On the 3rd or 4th line type: "acpi _ osi=Linux acpi _ backlight=vendor" before "quiet splash". That should get you past the black screen and then it should freeze up again at a purple screen... That's as far as I have come. Good luck! I'll post here if I figure it out. (There's a chance I might just give up! haha)

Do I type "acpi _ osi=Linux acpi _ backlight=vendor", Hit Enter, then type "quiet splash"? – user233327 Jan 08 '14 at 21:12

No. Right behind the "quiet splash" type the acpi command. then hit F10 – user233338 Jan 08 '14 at 21:18

The "quiet splash" command should be there already. – user233338 Jan 08 '14 at 21:19
