installation - I can't install Ubuntu 13.04 on a new computer

I managed to install Ubuntu 13.04 by disabling "Virtualization Technology" in my BIOS (which I believe let's me operate several OS's) and changing in GRUB2 quiet splash to quiet splash nomodeset.



However, when I reboot after installation (I installed the third party software), my screen will start blinking again. So I again changed the command quiet splash to quiet splash nomodeset but now I end up in what I believe is the terminal. But I do not know how to proceed from here.



My computer is a Toshiba Satellite S855-S5170 and I attribute this problem to the dual graphics card (AMD Radeon HD 7670M Graphics 2GB DDR3)




UPDATE 27/04/13



I changed 'quiet splash' to 'nomodeset' as it was suggested, but I did the same thing (i end up in the terminal) Then (inside the terminal) I tried 'startx' but it says that '[KSM] drm report modesetting isnt supported' 'fatal error: no screens found' What can I do now? Thanks for the support.
