Ubuntu (10.04/10.10) fails to start, i.e. hangs after installing ATI 5650 graphics driver on my HP laptop with core i5

Asked by Husain, Muhammad Mahbub

My Laptop (HP Pavilion DV6) config:
Processor: Core i-5
Ram: 4GB
HDD: 500
Graphics: ATI Mobility 5650 (1GB)
OS: Win 7 64bit

Problems:

1) I tried installing ubuntu 10.04 (32/64 bit) and 10.10 beta (32/64 bit) along with windows and it installed perfectly. However, when I installed the graphics driver, it installed but after restarting the pc, ubuntu failed to start. i tried several times bt not worked. (May be a bug in Ubuntu)

2) Another is, it is too bad that wireless lan/wlan/wi-fi does not install automatically. I had to install it connecting a cable line all time.

There are loas of different wireless chips and there is no unified model so having ALL drivers for wifi would require at least a few gigabytes of driver files. If you are shopping for a new wireless device, you can check if it will work out of the box or not.

My AR5001X+ works out of the box with default settings.

When you boot after installing the ATi drikver, what happes? You didn't add that in your question. "failed to start" is a bit vaguie
