replace sdb3 with FORMAT, internet, BIOS, no-encryption
on reboot it just, selecting on grub (many installs present) was normal, but i just sat there with blinking cursor on screen. I left it ~15 mins with no real activity.
// following copied from #lubuntu-devel
ps doesn't see lightdm (service -status-all shows "-")
maybe my machine specific; i see a systemd-journald file /var/log/journal... corrupted or uncleanly shut down, renaming and replacing... I may need to verify my chosen partition... I'll try re-install to a different drive..
`sudo service lightdm start` would cause term to switch to gui, but nothing again.. back to term and service wasn't running... I'll use different drive..
by switch to gui I didn't mean gui, switch to (blank with cursor as if starting gui)... never saw the gui
// i've abandoned this session; attempting to a different drive I'll record on new entry..
Install appeared good when using term, the GUI didn't start though... If it fails on different drive I'll return & add bug report here, but for now I'll suspect possible drive issue given corrupted.. (which I feel needs to to badblocks check my drive! to rule out not hardware [it takes time]..)
