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
