Title:
can't install xubuntu 13.04 video bug
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
I became a "full time" convert with Xubuntu 12.10. I had used other
versions of Ubuntu/Kubuntu for several years intermittently. So, I was
anxious to install this upgrade on a Dell Inspiron 5150. It uses
1280X1024 @ 59.9 Hz. It can be set for several others. They all seem
to use 'fractional' sync frequencies. The upgrade apparently uses
different resolutions and 60 Hz. Whether or not that is the specific
issue, the new install breaks the video sync into totally unreadable
flashes and sweeps. I can't seem to get a usable/tailorable install
because of this. Tried several downloads and burns. Anyway, I've done
it with other levels and versions and they work. Hopefully there is a
quick remedty for this. I know several institutions (mainly hospitals)
with a slug of these devices. Seems to me a simple install fix would
be the old 640X480 during install and let me tailor the final video
parameters. Anyway, I can see this being a negative impact to the new
release and thank-you for any assistance you can provide.
