Ubuntu 11.10 freezing on startup
I am trying to run Ubuntu 11.10 from a USB drive before I install it on my PC. I followed the prescribed steps but when I re-start from the drive Ubuntu hangs on the purple screen (which turns to a strange light purple/white mosaic). I have an HP Elitebook with a solid state hard drive, Intel Core i7 840QM, and excellent internet access. It is running Windows professional. The same happened when I tried to install Ubuntu 11.04 and I gave up on it then. I thought they fixed this problem with this new release.
Here are the last two messages from the system before it freezes:
Starting Bluetooth OK
PulseAudio configured for per-user session
saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned
Does that make any sense to anyone? It would be nice to run Ubuntu along my Windows...
