Ubuntu 10.04 Kernel does support some old hardware. Later one, starting from 10.10, some support had been dropped, that is exactly why we keep Lubuntu 10.04 available for people to install, or to be more accurate (I just checked our Wiki https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/PreviousReleases and moergaes<https://launchpad.net/~moergaes> has removed that part about Lubuntu 10.04 or maybe someone else did). Anyway, we kept Lubuntu 10.04 on our area for all that time for that reason. I am NOT asking or telling to keep an old version, I'm just guessing that could be the issue :) > Somehow I did not manage to install neither Lubuntu 12.04 nor Lubuntu > 12.10. > 1GB RAM is WAY TOO MUCH and NO WAY the installer will fail due to the RAM. Unless, something is seriously wrong. As Jonathan suggested, have you checked the RAM? When booting the machine, can you go to "Try Lubuntu without installation" and see the Live Desktop? Menu > System > Task Manager What does it say? 1024MB RAM? Just out of curiosity, have you considered to try Saucy? With old HDD, I have an approach, it helped me each and every time I do it. Using GParted, I wipe the whole HDD by creating new Partition Table. What is the Size of your HDD? Few times, I had to use 'dd' but these are rare cases when I had to do it. IMHO, I do NOT think it is a memory issue that crashed the installer. Sometimes, the fix is really easy that we don't even see or notice. I'm interested a lot to get this machine up and running. >From LiveCD, what does: sudo lshw -C display show? Have you tried 12.04 and 13.04? I do hope you won't give up and try more :) I'm very interested in this so keep me updated, please! -- "All of us are smarter than any one of us." *Best Regards,* *amjjawad <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad/>* *Start Ubuntu<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/CommunicationsTeam/WOWLubuntu/StartUbuntu> * *Test Machine: ASUS F3F Laptop - **Intel Core Duo T2350 @ 1.86GHz with 489MB RAM*
