    Hi everyone,

    I was using Ubuntu 11.10 up untill recently. It worked fine. I
    decided to upgrade to 12.04 a couple of days ago. I used Update
    Manager. When it finished, my computer was not able to load the
    new Ubuntu. It was working very hard. The display froze. I could
    still move the mouse cursor, but the upper menu and launcher did
    not show up. I rebooted and tried a few more times. I kept getting
    the same result. So, I decided to use the CD installer. This time
    (after the intallation), I got a blank screen. The mouse cursor
    was visible and I could still use it, but the screen remained
    blank. Is my hardware too old for Ubuntu 12.04? Is my graphics
    card too old? I installed Fedora 17, and it's working fine.

    To generate hardware information, I typed the following commands
    as root:

    lshw > lshw
    lspci -v > lspci

    I attached the two files. To summarize, I have an Aspire T180, and
    my graphics card is nVidia Corporation C61 [GeForce 6100 nForce
    405]. Thank you in advance for any help.
