I have tried this on 3 different machines, The nomodeset setting seems to kind of solve the problem, but then only one monitor can get used. On one of the machines that I tested the font looks weird. It is not an ideal solution. All the machines which had those problems are older machines TXXXX series processor, like T2400, T5500 etc. Lubuntu is ideal for older machines</span></p></div></blockquote></span><div>I downloaded this:-<br>ian@newton:~/isos/Xenial-Xerus/Daily-Build-19th-April$ md5sum xenial-desktop-i386.iso <br>88297c1fa949040b57438bba6a99e527 xenial-desktop-i386.iso<br><br></div><div>used md5sum to check the integrity of the iso - it passed<br></div><div><br></div><div>and burnt it to DVD-RW.
