HOOHAA :D

Finally, the installation of raring-desktop-i386 from the LiveUSB created
by Startup Disk Creator was done successfully :D

However, the same issue has occurred again. Whenever I want to check disc
for errors, it just sits there on the 5 dots with Lubuntu Logo, that is all.

I decided to give it ONE last chance before I totally give up from the
desktop image and it didn't let me down :D

So, I have two successful installations now, one for the desktop image and
the other for the alternate. I'm going to play with the un-official PPA for
Lubuntu (
https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/+archive/non-official-apps?field.series_filter=raring)
and try to produce some bugs/errors as much as possible but that would be
for Round 3 and tomorrow :D

Thank you!

P.S.
Do we have to report the issue as a bug? I mean "check disc for errors"
never worked on the desktop image?!
