Hi Iberę,
I don't know why this happens for you, but I have a few tips and
work-arounds.
1. Is there a good swap partition on the internal HDD? If not, make one
with gparted, when running a live session of for example Ubuntu 10.04 or
Lubuntu
Iber?
I've installed Lubuntu 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04 on many different AMD
powered machines and there is nothing wrong with that combo as far
as I can tell. 1GB RAM should be plenty. Nio's suggestions were all
great and quite detailed. One thing I'd like to add is I

Any ideas what else should I do to install Lubuntu on this AMD desktop?

If you start with a computer without linux, there will be no swap, and

Yes, as zRam does eventually kick in and help out, if it lowers the RAM
spec required for the Desktop system, then its place in the ISO is fully
warranted. Once we have the results in for how 13.10 works with it we can
make it a bit clearer on our GelLubuntu page which will also be repeated

Once we are done from our tests (I'm doing many tests as of now) and
'update' the Wiki, all the problems, IMHO, will be solved.
We first need to understand an important point, IMHO:
We need to understand that the minimum requirement to 'install' Lubuntu is

at 128MB we are pretty much at the level where you cannot run the standard

at those levels.

As I recall, the Open Java package default-jre gave you Java level 1.6

On Lubuntu 13.04, it gives you Java level 1.7.
