Question

linux

At the very beginning of the Ubuntu 14.04 installation process, a mess of multi-colored artifacts and geometric shapes appears on the screen. Notebook hp pavilion dv6

Answer 1

Install using text mode. And then deal with the driver for the video card.

Answer 2

Basically, the previous commenters are right, gdm didn't start. I'll try to give a quick fix recipe:
during boot, Ubuntu shows its logo, and at the bottom there is also an icon with a little man, a la "Accessibility". If at this moment you press something on the keyboard, you will be able to set the boot options. If I'm not mistaken, then F6 and there is an option - nomodeset. You need to install it, and after the successful installation of the OS, take care of proprietary drivers (which you will most likely need).

Answer 3

close the installation, and try to install in text mode, I think it will be possible to deal with video problems later!
