Hi guys,
I'm having a problem during install of Lubuntu 12.04 on an IBM Thinkpad A21p. Quick Specs are:
P3 850mhz
512mb Ram
32gb Hard Drive
ATI Rage Mobility 128
During install, either by loading to the live desktop first, or just going directly to the installer, I get about, 20% through, at the copying files stage, and the installer just quits on me. In /var/log/syslog I see this.
May 4 19:58:56 lubuntu install.py: Exception during installation:
May 4 19:58:56 lubuntu install.py: Traceback (most recent call last):

May 4 19:58:56 lubuntu install.py:
Then I get dumped back to the desktop, and the mouse cursor jams on the spinning loading cursor. If I try to reboot from the hard drive, it does something, then just sits at a blinking cursor.
The disc tests OK, and I have tested it using VirtualBox where it installed fine. Does anyone have any ideas? Any help is much appreciated.
