** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ * xserver-xorg-video-intel is not included in Lubuntu ISO because it
+ switched to recommends on the common seeds. Since Lubuntu ISO doesn't
+ include recommends, so xserver-xorg-video-intel is missing (but included
+ on other flavors).
+
+ * xserver-xorg-video-intel is not mandatory for Intel users, but it
+ needs a recent hardware to work correctly. According to the packages
+ description :
+
+ "The use of this driver is discouraged if your hw is new enough (ca. 2007
+ and newer). You can try uninstalling this driver and let the server use
+ it's builtin modesetting driver instead."
+
+ * However, Lubuntu targets old hardwares, and there are a lot of
+ reports from Intel users that, without this drivers, X doesn't load.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ * Install Lubuntu 16.04 with an official 16.04 ISO, on a system with an
Intel graphic device.
+ * Boot on the installed system, and the boot process should stop before X is
loading.
+ * To confirm the fix, install manually xserver-xorg-video-intel and boot
again.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ * Stick with the old driver may have an impact on the performances of
+ the driver (the new one should be better for 3D and others graphic
+ stuff).
+
+ * However, others flavors kept this driver on the ISO, and according to
+ the reports, it's probably safe to keep this driver for now.
+
+ [Original report]

I did a new installation of Lubuntu 16.04 LTS on a intel atom netbook
installation completes with any problem.
On booting the installed system i only got a black screen with the message:
"/dev/sda1: clean, 121563/920272 files"
I've changed to a terminal (CTRL+ALT+F1), and reading logs i've
found xserver-xorg-video-intel package is NOT INSTALLED
installed the xserver-xorg-video-intel package, and everything works ok
now.
Tried again with other computers (intel gpu all) and i've downloaded the
iso again and still happens
can confirm this happen to at least other two people on ubuntu forums:
