12.04 bootup issues

Asked by Terry Salazar

sometimes ubuntu 12.04 gets stuck at the pinkish screen just before the Ubuntu word is suppose to display. I have an ACER computer. Sometimes changing the boot menu in bios F2 button helps but I am finding I have to do that far to much. Any help is appreciated

I have downloaded the driver I am trying to install when I attempt to extract the zip file a gedit window open and is blank. As for installing from the repositories no luck I attempted when I go to verify with fglrx info the output is command not found.

Actually I have been able to correct this I was putting the verification command wrong. All good now.
