I have no experience of VIA. I'm testing now in VirtualBox and directly in some reasonably new hardware.
Using a late Alpha 1+ daily build (a couple of days before Alpha 2), I installed Lubuntu Saucy into a USB pendrive, and that installed instance ran nicely with my Pentium M. Can you test Saucy in a newer computer (maybe only the desktop live) to get a feeling of it? This could help you separate general bugs from problems because of the VIA hardware. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1203984 Title: Lubuntu does not get past the plymouth dots Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Booting a live session of Lubuntu Saucy Alpha 2 desktop 32-bit does not get past the ubiquity dots.
