I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with WUBI, everything is going fine and Ubuntu is awesome but i have a little problem: When I open my Sony VAIO model E laptop, I have 2 choices (which is normal) but when I select Ubuntu 1/2 of the time it will just give a rapidly blinking color background and can only be corrected if i reboot the computer and select Ubuntu again.

I think this has something to do with the fact i can't get any driver update for my computer from AMD, according to their website, VAIO computers aren't supported. I have a AMD RADEON HD 7650M graphic card which is not detected in Ubuntu. When i try to install the drivers using the drivers application it gives a "can't install" error. What should i do?

i'm not on my laptop right now but i found out the drivers i need : http://esupport.sony.com/CA/p/swu-download.pl?mdl=SVE17115FDB&upd_id=7596&os_group_id=6 but how can i install them?

This drivers are for windows, you can't install them in Ubuntu. – Javier Rivera Sep 20 '12 at 11:34
