[lubuntu] difficulty installing Lubuntu

view story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I just tried to install Lubuntu onto my old laptop but I am having some difficulties. I have searched online for help and believe that my problem is that I need to install video drivers but I have been unable to find a step by step for somebody like me - first time user. When I startup ubuntu normally, the screen will go black, If I go into advanced options and type "nomodeset" into the GRUB, then my computer starts up without a graphical interface and brings me to Jacob@lubuntu:~$ From that point I am unsure of what to do. I do not have any experience using commands in Luni (Hardware)

[lubuntu] iBook G4 from 2005 45 weeks 2 days ago

I have an old iBook G4 marked "A1134 copyright 2005". It's one of those white ibooks, whith a 1.42GHz processors and only 512 RAM. It still runs fine with osx, but my main goal is to get an all lubuntu laptop setup.

Hi there, I am just wondering if it is possible to do an OEM Install of Lubuntu 12.04 since I need to prepare an old laptop for a new home.

I have followed this guide and downloaded a Lubuntu 12.04 alternate CD. Unfortunately, this guide is fairly outdated and I can no longer see the option to "Prepare for end-user configuration".

I have just installed Lubuntu onto my old Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop. When I try to run the OS normally I get blackscreen on startup. However, when I click F8 and choose advanced options --> recovery mode, I am able to reach a text-terminal prompt.

It appears that I am able to use the OS from here but I am new to Lunix and am having trouble working through my problem without a GUI.

First post!! ):P

I am trying to install lubuntu onto an LG laptop model LS50e (quite old!) It has a Celeron M Processor 1.5GHz, 40GB hard drive and 238(?)MB RAM.

I boot from the CD and (after the gfxboot error), the "trial" screen comes up.

All is good so far..

When I press the "Install Lubuntu 12.10" button, the machine goes off and seems to try to install the program.

Hello everyone. I'm having some difficulty with getting my printer to work with Lubuntu 12.04 Precise. In Ubuntu it's pretty easy, if long winded, just following the instructions from http://hplipopensource.com

I have done exactly the same in Lubuntu, and given lack of any other choice, when the instructions ask what Linux distribution I'm using I gave it Ubuntu.
