Well this time I waited about half an hour for something to show up. I realized I probably should have explained a few things in more detail:
the usplash screen shows multiple (usually about 3) progress bars. One where it should be and properly drawn, the others moved around a bit and only partially drawn (e.g.: bottom half cut off), as well the extra bars don't update / indicate the actual progress of loading.
after the progress bar is full (loading is complete) the screen blanks and the message "No Signal" is displayed (although this happens with every ubuntu version I've used just before the gdm login screen appears), but then the message "Input Not Supported" comes up
then (and this is probably the most important point) I hear the login sound (heard after a successful login), since I'm running off of the LiveCD, I guess it logs me in as user ubuntu
I used ctrl-alt-backspace to restart the display manager, after which the process repeats (i.e.: "no signal" then "invalid input" then login sound)
