[lubuntu-devel] Black screen with flashing cursor

[Jan Holtman]

It has happened with the last 6 images, (as long as I have downloaded
them). Also on some computers it works and on some not.
I tested with 7 different machines and 3 out of 7 machines with the same
live USB stick had the same problems.
Also I tried 3 different USB sticks. It happens with the 32 and the 64 bit
versions.
On the same machines the Xubuntu live ISO works fine.
