I got one of these https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=hp+stream+11.6+laptop&ei=UTF-8&hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-001.
I have been trying to install Ubuntu and Lubuntu on this thing. I saw a video on Youtube in which someone was using the larger version of this laptop to boot Chromium and then Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, the one I really wanted to use. Has anyone had or heard of a successful install on one of these machines?
I was able to boot Ubuntu and Lubuntu, I made sure my keyboard and track pad were working, tried using a mouse. Whenever I try to click an icon for a program nothing happens at all, so I can't do anything let alone install. Once, today, on Lubuntu I clicked the file manager a bunch of times and about 15 minutes later all the windows popped up. It's brand new, out of the box. Why would this be happening? I'm using a PNY USB 2.0.
Any help or insight appreciated.
