I have a serious problem with my copy of Ubuntu. I had Debian 7.1, and had no idea about how to install Ubuntu. I tried with tutorials off of other sites, but every time I log in Ubuntu, it completely freezes, and my screen shows some sort of lines made up diagonally, leaving it unusable.

I installed Ubuntu 13.04 in the exact same partition as Debian 7.1 (erasing it) with 168GB. I made the entire install correctly, no problems. But I had this problem even when I was trying Ubuntu, when I booted the DVD for the 2nd time, it started correctly, but I still had the exact thing in some places, eg.: Applications list.

  • Please read I have a hardware detection problem, what logs do I need to look into?, [edit] your question to include more hardware information. Also, include the tutorials you've followed and what have you done. – edwin Aug 05 '13 at 21:19
  • Added everything you said. – Luciano Garcia Montes Aug 05 '13 at 22:31
  • Did you have any problems with Debian 7? Please add screenshots of the problem. (You can upload the pictures to a image hosting site like ImgUrl or ImageShack.) – edwin Aug 06 '13 at 00:23
  • I had no problems with Debian 7, none at all, i'll try to take a picture of my problem and upload them. – Luciano Garcia Montes Aug 06 '13 at 01:59
  • No GRUB (it only showed ONCE yesterday) : http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/825/ktg5.jpg/ (sorry for the blurred image)

    Normal boot: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/844/lwxh.jpg/

    Normal login: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/560/efp9.jpg/

    It freezes right here: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/191/u4i9.jpg/ (it stops at that point and stops spining)

    And finally, the big problem: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/20/ymsz.jpg/

    Most possible the image you used to install Ubuntu is corrupt, try downloading it via BitTorrent. (If Debian 7 works, then Ubuntu Raring should probably work without a hitch, I think.) – edwin Aug 06 '13 at 02:12
  • Ok, i'll try with BitTorrent tomorrow, because i'm in bed xD And I guess that I can use .exe apps in Ubuntu with wine, can I? For example, games, photoshop, etc. – Luciano Garcia Montes Aug 06 '13 at 02:27
  • Ok, i'll install it, i'll be updating this comment while i'm installing ubuntu. – Luciano Garcia Montes Aug 07 '13 at 18:14
  • I don't know why i can't edit my comment, it doesn't matter. At the beginning, I tried Ubuntu from the DVD I used to burn the BitTorrent image. None of the apps in the apps list appeared just like normal. They were similar to the last photo I uploaded. Ubuntu is installing, so i'll wait – Luciano Garcia Montes Aug 07 '13 at 18:26
