When I try to install Ubuntu 12.04 64-Bits on my desktop computer, I don't get any video output from the installation since I click "Install Ubuntu" (or something like that). It stays with a black screen just like in a console.
I googled about my problem and I found that maybe Ubuntu isn't capable of showing image when running on a Nvidia Geforce GTX 550 TI, but I couldn't find any solution. How can I install Ubuntu on my dear computer? 😛
PS: The problem isn't with the USB I use, I installed already Ubuntu 12.04 64 into my netbook Asus 1215P, and is working fine.

I figured it out. When the installation pops up, I clicked F6, then ESC. In the text that appeared on the screen, I changed quiet to noquiet, splash to nosplash, and added nomodeset right after nosplash.
The install finally opened. When installed I checked "install updates during install" and "install third party software" (or something like that) after connected to my wireless network, and when the setup finished and I rebooted my computer, everything was working just fine, with NVidia drivers installed and Unity 3D working.
For Alternate install: After base packages are installed (before grub install), open a prompt (ALT+F2) and "chroot /target", then "apt-get install nvidia-current", "CTRL+D" to exit chroot, "ALT+F1" to resume install. Complete the installation and you should be good to go.
