You go and get a drink, come back to your computer and the screen is still blank so you sit and stare at it for 30 minutes or so then boot your computer out of frustration before you restart it and begin the process again.
Then wait, and wait some more… After a few minutes you will be greeted with a usable graphical interface.
UBUNTU VMWARE ON MAC STUCK AT TERMINAL LOGIN SCREEN INSTALL
The next time you try to install Linux onto a computer and the installer drops to a terminal prompt with the message vesamenu.c32: attempted DOS system call Let’s deal with the vesamenu issue first. Fixing the Blank Screen on Installation Bug And I owe thanks to both HapiHakr at the LinuxMint Forum and the people at UbuntuGeek for posting solutions to these problems. The solution is easier than you might think. “Linux graphical installer goes blank but disc keeps on spinning” “Why can’t I get past the first screen when installing Ubuntu”, or “vesamenu.c32 prevents Linux installation” Whatever the symptom, I am sure that it will have prompted you to clean your disc, to clean your disc drive, to re-download your installation iso, to reburn it at increasingly slower speeds, to Google umpteen times with search terms like A continuously moving animated gif that suggests “ something amazing is about to happen“ which it is – the computer is about to get a boot from its frustrated user!.A perpetually blank screen that prevents any set-up questions from being answered.
The installation issue shows itself through symptoms which include any of the following: It is a strange and frustrating problem because once Ubuntu is installed it detects and configures them effortlessly. The Ubuntu graphical installer is poor at detecting and setting up old graphics cards and monitors. I had the pleasure of installing Ubuntu onto two old computers this weekend.
