Hi friends, I am new to Linux(Ubuntu). I have tried installing Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS on a HP Dreamscreen using a usb-stick. unfortunately I had many problems like grub install fail, even if I install grub manually, a blank screen with a blinking cursor was only visible thing on screen.

my machine info Intel Atom D525 1.8 GHz Processor,Intel NM10 Express
chipset,2 GB DDR3 RAM,250 GB SATA II (7200 rpm).

My question is, I have downloaded ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso file, is this compatible with my machine? I have been trying for a week to install Ubuntu. I have read many forums and referred to many web sites, many of these teach how to install along side of Windows but I want only Ubuntu to be installed on my machine.

Please, if you have any detailed solutions how to install Ubuntu, that could help me, I would be very grateful to hear them.

I would not recommend attempting to use 64-bit Ubuntu Linux on an Intel (Pineview) Atom D525. Most manufacturers did not enable 64-bit anyway, and performance is nothing special.

You should not be using 12.04.1 LTS, but instead the later 12.04.2 LTS.

Download ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-i386.iso, and try that instead.

Also, look for others who have tried this on this unusual HP product (targeted initially at Indian market). See what they have achieved, and what (if any) issues they had with drivers.
