I installed Ubuntu 12.04 using the Windows installer on a Toshiba Tecra 9100 (vintage ~2002) with Windows XP Professional. When I boot to Ubuntu, the screen image is a mess indicating some sort of graphics problem. I tried to post a picture, but my reputation is not high enough.With the messed up graphics nothing is usable right from the start. The graphics processor is an AGP 4x - S3 Super Savage/IXC - 16MB.

Do you have any suggestions? Am I doomed to having a paperweight?

P.S. Computer has 512MB of memory

  • Have you tried other flavor? It happens when you use a LiveCD/USB?

Ubuntu 12.04 will not run on this machine: What are the system requirements for each flavour of Ubuntu Desktop. Try Lubuntu. Even then, you should consider adding memory.

  • So Lubuntu will work but you must be careful with memory usage (processes in the background, number of browser tabs opened at the same time etc.)
