I ran Ubuntu 18.04.2 from the "live" disc with no problems. The installation appeared to go without a hitch - twice. However, after the installation completes, it doesn't not boot. All I get is a blinking cursor up in the left corner of the screen.
I followed instructions for boot repair. That also seemed to run fine from the "live" disc, but it did not solve the boot problem. From what I can tell, the Dell Latitude E6500 does not have a UEFI mode. There were some articles I read that suggested that that was the problem, but they offered no solution. How do I install Ubuntu on the Dell Latitude E6500 successfully? Perhaps there is a different version that will install.
