Not sure about UL31. Does it have two video cards like the ul30 ? In
that case, you may try disabling one of them in the bios. For UL30 the
alternative is between something like "windows7/Vista" and "other".
With the "other" checked, it turns off completely the intel card,
leaving just the nvidia one. It may help you installing the system in
the first place.
Cheers,
Victor

Subject: Problem installing Ubuntu 10.10

Here come the words that probably fill you all with dread... I am
new to
Linux! Well, fairly new at least. I have been running Ubuntu 10.10
on my
old laptop for a couple of months now and love it. However, I just
got a
new Asus U31JG and I cannot install Ubuntu at all. There have been
various issues in the process that have absorbed a lot of time but I
won't bore you with the details. At present, trying to install 10.10
from a LiveCD, the installation process goes right through to the
point
where a dialogue box appears asking if I want to try ubuntu or install
it. Almost immediately the box disappears and the install stops at the
purple splash screen with no cursor visible. I understand that
this is a
video card problem but can't find a work around that actually works.
Tried doing an F6 and installing with the 'nomodeset' and 'ACPI=off'
options but, basically, the same result (except that it is the 'choose
your language screen' that disappears almost instantly).
Also tried booting an alternate iso from USB drive but I just couldn't
get that to work.
If anyone has any words of advice, I'd be really grateful. Thanks.
