Hi,
Looks like we may have a problem with Intel users after all.
I checked the difference between xubuntu and lubuntu ISO, and this
package is missing :
xserver-xorg-video-intel
Intel cards was supposed to work without this package, but according
to the package description, it is only the case for new cards.
If you have people affected by black screen, or no X starting, or no
lightdm starting, with Intel card, could you advise them to install
this package, reboot, and see if it's working (and report back) ?
This should affect only fresh install, upgrade should be fine (as this
package was included in previous releases).
Thanks in advance for your reports.
Regards,
Julien Lavergne "

The problem there seems to be on lubuntu, but maybe it could be the same root problem for gnome. I could not test it yet. Would somebody verify this?
