[Laptop stats: Intel® Celeron® CPU 410 @ 1.46 GHz 1.47GHz, 448 MB of RAM]  I press Install and this message appears:   This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU.  Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU.   What can I do to install Lubuntu on my computer?

So I tried to install lubuntu 2 times now, and it seems that it won't install because at the very last of the install progress I get the error: Could not retrieve the required installation files for more ingormation, please see the log file ()  I tried a live USB and it just doesn't boot up.  Anyone know what the problem could be? I'm on a 64 bit i7 gtx560 system  Kind regards, Gilles

My Ubuntu version is new, and Intel Graphics Installer doesn't allow me to install the Intel video drivers. It says "Distribution not supported" How can I resolve this problem?

I understand that Lubuntu utilizes LXDE over Ubuntu's Unity(Gnome?); But being new to Linux I'm not sure if that change is going to be simply cosmetic, or if there will be functional differences I need to be aware of. The Ubuntu wiki says no, but it is also seems to be a very superficial discussion. I am comfortable(ish) with the command line and I suppose my question is more directed in that direction, but any information would be great.

For you that have tested this, should we use Ubuntu and install different Desktop Environments (KDE/XFCE...) or we should install different distributions (Kubuntu/Xubuntu...). Are there any notable issues in performance / CPU consumption?  PS:  I know how to install them (already did), I wanted to know if anyone has any problems regarding the performance and what is better to install the desktop or to use the ditribution

I'm running Ubuntu 15.10 on a new laptop but in order to get proper full support for this hardware I apparently need the 4.4 kernel + a custom patch. See  if you're interested in the details.  I know about the mainline kernel PPAs but my understanding is that they don't come with source. If this is the case, This would seem to eliminate the possibility of using a mainline kernel PPA because I can't patch it. So I've been trying to check out the git source and build it but can't find up to date, relevant instructions.   Can somebody help with instructions for building a 4.4 kernel on 15.10?

My processor is an Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 (2.40GHz). As far as I know that's a 64-bit processor - I'm a bit confused as the architecture is called AMD 64, is this a generic name given to 64-bit architectures? I've heard of x64 but can't see a release labelled with this.

I want to install Ubuntu on a laptop with an SSD. Will it be a problem in general to install Ubuntu on a laptop with an SSD instead of a laptop with an HDD? Which Linux kernel version is best for a laptop with an SSD?

Alright so my computer is 64-bit and I only want to use Linux to install Steam, play Team Fortress 2 and get that penguin item but It's not working out for me. The version of Ubuntu I installed was the "Wubi.exe" which let's me use it along with Windows. But when I get it up and download the Steam .deb file, it tells me "Wrong Architecture 'i386'". What do I have to do to run Ubuntu alongside windows without using a CD/USB stick?

Is it possible to install Ubuntu on a Chromebook? If so, what are the minimum system requirements? Will Ubuntu preform as well on the Chromebook as on a Windows laptop?

I built myself a computer a couple of years ago and run it now with Ubuntu 9.04 under Xen 3.0. I'm not a hardware expert by any means, but I managed to make it all work. However, due to the lack of support for Xen by Ubuntu, I can't easily upgrade to more recent versions of the operating system. I have therefore decided to switch from Xen to KVM, which is supported by Ubuntu.  My current CPU, an Intel Pentium 4 Processor 640, is not KVM-compatible (i.e. does not provide VT-x or AMD-V). My motherboard is an ASUS P5LD2. I have looked for other processors which work with the ASUS P5LD2 motherboard, implement VT-x or AMD-V, and are available in shops near me.  The Intel E6700 seems to fit the bill.  If I switch off my computer, replace the Intel 640 with an Intel E6700, update the BIOS for the E6700, and switch it back on again: will it still work with the existing installed software (Xen 3.0, Ubuntu 9.04 etc.)? Or do I have to reinstall everything from scratch?  Steve

I'm attempting to install Ubuntu 14.04.1 (the only version I have handy) onto my old Compaq Presario R3000 (this Ubuntu was recommended for this computer). The installation has stalled at about 60% and hasn't moved in an hour.  The message at the bottom says: Configuring bcmwl-kernal-source (i386).  I have no experience with Ubuntu (or with Linux, for that matter), coming from a strictly-Windows background). Can anyone offer some advice?

I'm thinking about installing Ubuntu Desktop, but I don't know what flavor is the best for my system. What are the minimum and recommended hardware requirements? What kind of CPU? How much memory? Should I have Hardware Acceleration? What flavor should I use?  This is an attempt of a canonical answer. My answers have the &quot;official  requirements&quot;, the recommended are a mix of official sources and opinion based (along with the answer it's told the source). You can comment or edit if you feel that the information is obsolete or incomplete. It is a good rule of thumb that any system capable of running Windows Vista, 7, 8, x86 (Intel) OS X will almost always be a lot faster with any Ubuntu flavor even if they are lower-spec than described below.

I know this may sound stupid, but I was having a problem with my ubuntu, it wasn't loading.   So I was googling solutions and one of them was purging something and installing something   so I did it. The proccess took a couple hours, and it didn't work. It turns out it was something to do with my graphics card (which I fixed), but when I loaded it up, I had lubuntu.   Is there any way of reverting back to ubuntu?   Or is lubuntu better to keep? I have no idea, please help.

I have a similar laptop to    But I am opening another question as the problem I face is different. The  and did not find any experience with the Ubuntu installation.  After switching from RAID to AHCI, disabling a secure boot, updating the BIOS, and play around with the BIOS option, I am trying to install Ubuntu 18.04.03.  I am not actually installing it but just using "Try Ubuntu". I pass to the bootloader the options nomodeset intel_idle.max_state=1 without which the installation stops very early. I've also played around with ipv6.disable.  Everything stops while turning on services(see attached figure). In particular acpid.service is the last thing I see, then the system freezes.  I suspect it is related to ACPI setup but don't have any clue on how to fix it. Any suggestion is much appreciated.
