Hi ,
Welcome !!

How you installed Lubuntu? via wubi (from within Windows) or regular dual-boot ?

What guide you followed ?

Thanks

I installed as regular dual boot using a usb flash memory. In download the iso and used LILI USB CREATOR. Then boot from usb and followed the instructions.

OK. So maybe this is a Intel GMA problem.

Try something , when you see this prompt press CTRL+ALT+F2 and login from there, can you?

IF yes , then give these 2 commands

sudo service lightdm stop 
sudo service lightdm start

Is the login screen comes out ?

Thanks

After the first command the response is "Stop: uknown instance"

after the second command its showing like a list and stop in "stopping save udev log and update rules"

Unfortunately the problem is located at the graphics card. Intel GMA 3600.

I just found this thread

Thanks

Hello and Welcome to Ubuntu Forum

Thanks for choosing and using Lubuntu and I'm sorry to know you are having some issues but I'm here to help and will do my best. I'm one of Lubuntu Team Members.

Let's make this as simple as possible.

Before you have installed Lubuntu 12.10 32bit on your machine, have you tried to test it without installation from the LiveUSB? if you haven't done that, could you please do it now?

This will not touch your installation and will do absolutely nothing to your machine.

If there is something wrong with 12.10, sometimes, using an older/previous release is not bad idea and yes, I'm referring to 12.04 but let's see what will happen.

If the problem is indeed with the Graphics Card/Driver, then that is different story.


Edit:
Ok, I have checked this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...953734&page=15

I second what the other poster suggested. Please check and see if you can run Linux on your machine.
