Can you please try to get an X.org log from this box? It seems that the
X.org driver (nv on the live system) used on this system does not work.

For this, you need a second computer, both of which are on a common
network. The one which fails needs ethernet connection since you won't
have a chance to enter wifi passphrases.

Please do the following:

 - Boot the live CD
 - select the language in the boot menu
 - press F6, Esc, then enter "text", then press Enter. This will boot the live system without starting X.org. Wait until the bouncing ubuntu logo goes away and you get into a text console.
 - sudo apt-get install openssh-server
 - "passwd" and enter a real password for the ubuntu user.
 -  "ifconfig eth0" and note the IP address ("inet addr: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx").
 - From the second computer, log into the live system with "ssh ubuntu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", using the IP address from above, and the password you just set when it asks you.
 - On the live system, now do "sudo gdm-binary". This will start X and presumably cause a black screen. (If not, reproduction failed..)
 - From the second computer, fetch the logs:

    scp ubuntu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/var/log/kern.log /tmp/
    scp ubuntu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/var/log/Xorg.0.log /tmp/

Attach /tmp/kern.log and /tmp/Xorg.0.log here. Thanks!
