desperanceMaybe I just need another variety of Linux - but what I've always loved about Ubuntu is that it did just work, in set-ups where other distros struggled.
Not this time. Trying to run a live version from a thumb-drive, I'm getting nothing at all, just a blank screen. Guessing that it doesn't have a driver that can deal with my monitor - but even guessing rightly doesn't help, when you don't know what to doooo...
This is Silicon Valley; I should be able to step outside my door and flag down any random passing stranger, find myself with an eager geek on my hands. But, y'know. Englishmen don't do that.
