Hi,

lubuntu-desktop-amd64 16th Sept build

with 512Mb in Vbox I observed the following..
'Try Lubuntu' started fine, but completely hangs when asked to reboot.
'Install Lubuntu' worked fine, but hangs when rebooting at the end of the
install process. Doing a force reset re-starts the install, but you can now
eject the 'cd' and a further force reset starts the VBox okay. Reboot and
Shutdown then function okay.

with 512 in KVM I observed the following...
'Try Lubuntu' starts fine and reboots fine.
'Install Lubuntu' works fine, reboot at end of install hangs. Force reset
and then start boots into the normal desktop. Further reboots are okay.

I'm going to ask Ali to try this on actual hardware to see if it is a
gremlin in virtualisation or is a bug at the end of the installer.

@ Ali, can you please test on 'real' hardware and report back - Thanks!

Regards,

Phill.
