dc7700 ALT TAB alternates between
- Try and Install Lubuntu
- lubuntu-installer-prompt

Default is lubuntu-installer-prompt on boot, which is showing only the
background with no actual prompt for user to respond to.

** Description changed:

  Lubuntu stonking (26.10) has done this awhile on this box now, I suspect
  it maybe a hardware quirk?? related to the graphics card in this box
  maybe; but I don't know, so documenting here
  
  -- preamble & expected
  
  insert thumb-drive with Lubuntu stonking; boot & I expect to get to
  TRY/install dialog where I can select which I want to do...
  
  -- actual result
  
  i get blueish wallpapers on both monitors on this box; and it just sits
  there... for what feels like forever (have only waited an ~hour, though
  <10 mins wait on this box with current daily/ISO)
  
  The TRY/INSTALL dialog is NOT appearing
  
  -- workaround
  
  A simple Alt + TAB will make it show (or alternate between two
  background-blueish screens & the try-install dialog..)
  
  Maybe release notes should mention if your box sits on blue backgrounds
  awhile, try hitting ALT+TAB to view the try/install dialog; we have
  experienced some hardware that requires this.
  
  NOTE:  I've made assumption it's box specific; graphics card, or maybe
  just monitors connected; as I don't believe I experience this on all
  boxes. Experiencing it here today on dc7700 or old hp compaq thing.

+ dc7700 ALT TAB alternates between
+ - Try and Install Lubuntu
+ - lubuntu-installer-prompt
+ 
+ Default is lubuntu-installer-prompt on boot, which is showing only the
+ background with no actual prompt for user to respond to.
+ 
+ On other boxes however, there is no `lubuntu-installer-prompt` viewable
+ if you hit ALT+TAB at the same graphic prompt; so something on the
+ dc7700 is maybe causing lubuntu-installer-prompt to fail to exit?? or
+ something..
