Hi Phill and Ali, It looks like it could be a problem with low RAM. The installer cannot not handle it in a proper way, so it 'hangs'. Fortunately it has already finished writing the installation to disk.
I did not mention it before, but I was 'managed to' make it hang earlier (in VBox), and then there was no complete installation (it would not boot). I think the 32-bit desktop installer needs less RAM than this 64-bit version. I'll also try tomorrow with the boot option mem=xxxM in a real computer. But it is good if many people try, so please try Ali :-) Best regards Nio On 2013-09-17 20:56, Phill Whiteside wrote: > Hi, > > lubuntu-desktop-amd64 16th Sept build > > with 512Mb in Vbox I observed the following.. > 'Try Lubuntu' started fine, but completely hangs when asked to reboot. > 'Install Lubuntu' worked fine, but hangs when rebooting at the end of > the install process.
