So I just tried, to install 4.0, laptop won't finish loading after install,
I'm downloading Gamer 3.0 off of copy, going on an upgraded qosmio x505-896 (hopefully)
I really like the idea of linux, my main machine has to stay windows because all my games aren't ported, but my laptop will be running some form of Ubuntu, I wish this was a simple straight forward install I'd already be running 4.0....seems stuck at midiemulator, or something similar flashes by to fast......Question should I even bother continuing this pursuit....gamer sounds like what I'm looking for if it will actually work.
Lap top
I7
8gb ram
500gb main
1tb secondary
currently stuck after 4.0 Ultimate Edition install, just a blinking cursor worked fine on live usb,

Main
3930k, 4.3 stable
64gb ram
3 hd arrays 2x raid 0 1tb, 1x raid 1 1tb
2 x 9760
5x monitors still haven't found a Linux version that makes triples easy let alone 5x

Check the post below to see which parameters you can pass during boot time to overcome the blinking cursor....nomodeset is the most common one....

What graphics hardware are you using??
Your qosmio uses 460m which should have good support but download driver from http://www.nvidia.com/drivers ....

Your 3930k may require a new kernel on Ultimate Edition gamers 3.0...
