Ask Ubuntu is a question and answer site for Ubuntu users and developers. It's 100% free, no registration required.

I recently wanted to try something else than Windows so I tried to install 12.04.
My spec are: Radeon 6790 MSI Gigabyte ma770t-ud3 Athlon II x635.

When I try to install, all I get, after hitting install Ubuntu at boot menu, is a blurry screen.

I thought its a graphic drivers problem, so I went on Googling. I read that setting nomodeset and then xforcevesa would help.

So I got it installed yet all I get is a command line, no GUI. It asks for login and password.

I don't know what to do next, to get drivers and to run in normal screen with wallpaper.

I'd be very grateful for any help.
