The bug is still present and nothing has changed. I can not install any current ubuntu but I tried the daily live cd as you suggested. The current kernel i tried in the live cd is
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu 3.12.0-7-generic #15-Ubuntu SMP Sun Dec 8 23:39:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I repeat: the bug is exactly the same as it was 3 years ago.
If I type in "acpi=off" AND "nomodeset" in the command promnt on boot up of the live CD it will boot up, otherwise it will fail. Excatly the same behaviour as 3 years ago.
