Hello guys. I'm using lubuntu. I decided to do a clean upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 via live USB. I didn't bother to format the partition (where 14.04 was installed) before running the live USB, since the installation process gives you the option of doing so, correct?
Also, after formatting on the fly, the used space was 800+ mb, is this normal?
When it was done, I couldn't boot into lubuntu. Only a black screen with a phrase that says something about blocks. Then it just sits there. Upon booting again with live usb, I noticed the partition still had only 800+ mb used space, which means lubuntu did not install? I've tried several times, same result.
I thought live USB was the problem because it can only "Install Lubuntu" but not "Try Lubuntu without installing". But booting the live USB in another computer could do both tasks. So now I'm confused.
Is the problem hard drive or live USB?
Thanks guys
