It usually came down to a weird BIOS config where a setting that seemed like it shouldn't effect the boot process did. I would call that a bug in the BIOS or in other words a hardware issue and not something that was Ubuntu's fault.<br>
<br>
The only other problem I've had, and it's also very rare is when the machine had a video card that was incompatible with the opensource driver, but it would be loaded anyway and either crash the system or be too buggy to actually see a usable display. In those cases I would whip out the server install CD and install it without problem. Then it was only a matter of installing the proprietary driver directly and then everything would work correctly after that.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

So yet another chapter of ubuntu-isms begins in my life, trying to install on my new desktop. Step 1 defeat, their server install won't even boot with a 16.04.1 server disk. Internal cdrom or external usb cdrom, no usb thumbdrive.<br>
<br>
Then tried a 16.04.1 desktop installer for kubuntu, which got into setup, but proceeded to just lock up indefinitely at the drive setup screen, twice.<br>
<br>
This is really why I have a hate/love relation with ubuntu, it never fails to disappoint. My road to 16.04 has been all upgrades so far, this time I'm using 16.04.1 cd's from scratch.<br>
<br>
I really don't want to have to make a circle of distro's to end up back here again, but ubuntu is always so basically dysfunctional these days with the most basic things, it's hard to want to care.<br>
<br>
I wonder how much others have seen this. This is with legacy boot in bios, no uefi crap, and just a basic d-i based ubuntu server install, and/or kubuntu.<br>
