Thank you all for the support. I have installed UBUNTU insted of LUBUNTU and had not problems. The PC was an HP with little hardware space 30GB and I thought LUBUNTU will be a bit lighter. Thanks again, Alexe On Wed, May 3, 2017 at 3:42 AM, Phillip Susi wrote: > On 4/27/2017 8:54 PM, didier wro

One should check if BIOS is configured with legacy or UEFI mode. - 64 bits package imposes UEFI installation even if the BIOS is in Legacy mode so incoherence in the end (next reboot). - 32 bit package can be performed in Legacy mode (maybe why 168422 can be performed ?). More explicit warning

Will the bugpattern pick up on dupes regardless of version? I'm also unclear on whether or not this is a problem in 16.10 or not. I haven't seen similar complaints there, but cyphermox seems to suggest there should be. If it is, we should set this back to confirmed. -- @wxl | polka.bik
