(Get the code!)
Sorry for posting in the wrong place.
I installed Lubuntu 14.04.2 from a USB flash drive. I skipped the "try Lubuntu" option and went straight into the install process. After I set everything up (wipe everything, 315 GB for the main mount point and 4 GB for swap area), I let the computer idle. This was after I picked my username and timezone and so on.
It continued the install for about five minutes, then turned off the display as a kind of power saving feature. (It was on a laptop, but the laptop was plugged in.)
When I came back to check on it, I mashed a few keyboard buttons to wake up the PC and activate the display again. This included some of the arrow keys. Somehow I pressed a combination for switching the visible desktop, because I then saw a window saying I was now on desktop 3. That small window closed soon after, and I was left with just a mouse cursor with the "loading" mouse cursor animation.
When the install was finished, Lubuntu popped up a window on desktop 3 (or wherever I was) and told me to restart. So the install still completed normally.
But I wonder if it's possible to use that same key combination and ruin your chances of a successful install. What if you do it while Lubuntu still needs to ask you questions?
