So this is what I found, after a little research. Your laptop has NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 630M with Optimus technology and I suppose that this last one causes the problem. I found in this question on the italian Ubuntuforums that you should disable the switchable video card setting in your BIOS and choose either Nvidia only or the integrated Intel video card. After that, the boot with the Ubuntu ISO should work, because Ubuntu still doesn't support decently the Optimus technology. If this is or is not your problem, I think you should report a bug in Launchpad and explain your eventual solution and see if there is also a better solution and also to show evidence of the problem, in order to fix it as soon as possible. |

I have the same lap K53SM-SX130D (India). I had ran into the same problem and have hence succesfully installed 11.04. Bumblebee (nvidia Optimus for Linux). Do these while booting from cd give these boot options acpi=off noapic nolapic. Even though I'm now running only with nolapic. Then I selected text install and installed a base system with X I believe lightdm & plymouth has issues so don't install both install gdm and gnome classic. I don't like unity! I am still having problem with plymouth so hasn't installed that also. If after install you are having problems with booting. My system used to hang. Press e in grub menu and add the boot options Then once inside os edit /etc/default/grub or give the complete as given on install cd boot Warning: acpi off means you will lose all power saving/optimizing features Hope this helps -Vemman |
