I hope that you are all enjoying installing 12.04. On that front i am having a bit of trouble getting it (or anything else for that matter) onto one of my older machines. The machine is currently running Lubuntu 11.10 and that works fine. Now i am trying to install 12.04 on it but every time i do so the machine freezes as i try to load the live session. This freeze takes place while the little dots under the Lubuntu logo are changing colour: they stop changing colour and nothing happens.
i have tried re-downloading the image and made different start-up disks (i have only been using a USB). I have even tried ubuntu 12.04, thinking it might be worth trying to run Unity 2D, and tried using a much larger USB disk. All of this has failed and i remain stuck on the opening screen of both Lubuntu and Ubuntu. I have not had any trouble with this machine before: I've been running different distributions on it since 9.10, have had no problems booting from a USB and as i said, Lubuntu 11.10 works great. Because i can't get the live instance to work i can't think of what i might test on the machine - all the USB ports work fine while in Lubuntu. If anyone has any ideas about what i might try to get it to work or discover what's wrong, that'd be great. best, james. -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
