Boot up the image
If you see the GRUB boot menu you should see the following:
  • 'Try or Install Xubuntu'
  • 'Xubuntu (safe graphics)'
  • 'OEM install (for manufacturers)'
  • 'Test memory' (only on BIOS systems)
  • The system boots properly and loads the installer displaying the Welcome dialog with language selection and 'Try Xubuntu' and 'Install Xubuntu' buttons

    • 'Install third-party software...' option available
    Click on the Continue button
    The 'Installation type' screen is displayed

    (SYSTEM YY is the name of the system already installed on disk (Xubuntu 12.04, Windows 7, ...)
    Click on Continue

    Note the drive selected on the Select drive list and the bar state

    After clicking Try Ubuntu, Plymouth text appears (#1753467)

    1753467

    Tested in Virtual Box VM. Noticed bug 1753467 when booting.
    After selecting install the next windows did not fit in the screen: I could not select "Next". I canceled the install, then got an internal error and next and "unrecoverable error" message. Then the live session started.
    Here I broke of the test.
    I used 9999 to be able to mark this test as failed, though I did not experience bug 9999.

    Black screen with messages after new install 17.10 (#1719191)

    1719191

    Installed on my Dell E6410 laptop (UEFI) alongside Windows 7. Overall it worked fine, but I had some issues.
    - translation to Polish was incomplete (for example WiFi password window - bug 1426920, almost all "graphical slides" during the last step, ubiquity-slideshow-xubuntu?)
    - when booting my USB drive with Xubuntu in UEFI I didn't get GUI window with Try / Install options, just separate GRUB entries (instruction 1./2.), so maybe it should be mentioned in that instruction that if you boot in UEFI mode you get GRUB entries instead
    - I don't see "(If on a 'laptop') Is plugged to a power source" (instruction 4.), so that instruction is probably deprecated
    - after installation finished, when I clicked to restart my computer, no screen with "prompt to remove media and press Enter" appeared, I only saw error messages and blinking cursor (bug 1719191, instruction 17./18./19.)
    - after installation, after restart, in GRUB I see "Ubuntu" entry, it would be nice if it would say "Xubuntu 18.04" or just "Xubuntu"
