When I boot up from the USB stick I get the main page and when I select the any of the menu items it starts goes through the screen and then hangs. I have an IBM T410s laptop.
Is there a way I can get this to work?

how about trying it also on live cd/dvd?
post hardware devices (Video card, wifi card, eth, sound), not laptop brand and model..It is a wate of time starting to look for someone's laptop specs....
Specify precisely the problem..Hangs up?..How far does it get?...Any error on screen?...Gnome and KDE version?..32 or 64 bit?...No problems during USB installation?...
Please, post sensitive info so we can help you better..
Luck.

I tried things like:
#dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
or
#fix-splash
but these should be used after installation. I tried in order to check if I'll get lucky:d
my system parameters:
1. Processor - Intel Core i5 M520 2.4GHz
2. RAM 4GB
3. Win7 32 bit installed and Fedora 17 on another partition. The last partition I want for BT 5r3.
4. Intel HD integrated graphics
5. intel 82577LM gigabitnetwork connection, intel centrino advanced-N 6200 AGN, Qualcomm Gobi 2000-HS usb mobile broadband device, virtual box host-only ethernet adapter (I even dont know which one of these is WiFi card:D)
6. Monitor ThinkPad Display 1200x800
7. bluetooth, touchpad, fingerprint etc.
8. Intel Display Audio, Conexant 20585 SmartAudio HD.
I guess that's all.
Can you guys explain me why my installed system dont work. after 'startx' screen goes black. end of story...
please put it in easy step by step way, so that I could follow.
Would it be better to install older version of BT e.g. 4? is there a better support? I would say that the newest one should be better, but I read it today somewhere on forums that older have better device's support.
thanks in advance.
yo
yes, I wrote so...The older the Hardware the better the support..Not the older BT5 version...It would be a non-sense..Quote:

As to "please put it in easy step by step way, so that I could follow." Sorry, need to read, this is linux, sometimes you need a "work-around" solution, but read, and then post doubts. I have a laptop with intel video card and had issues after startx, but solved it, and I had to read...If after reading still nothing, then I post.
You need a basic linux background..This section "beginners section" is for newbbies on BT5, not in Linux..Read posts in the section as to how people with that hardware is trying to solve the issue.
After you've read and tried, then post your doubts, we all the community are willing to help any member who need it.
Best of luck.
