I just had a new Asus EeePC R051CX. Out of the box, the installed OS is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, but I am trying to install Peppermint OS three (as single boot).
Problem. Once on live CD (well, live USB stick...), I'm in trouble in both following situations:
Try Peppermint OS Live
In this case, the first thing I get is a message reading
The system is running in low-graphics mode
Your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself.
I can solely press "return" to accept, then I have a list of 4 options to answer the question "What would you like to do?". But I simply can't do anything at this moment, except switching to console mode or rebooting (keyboard / mouse controls don't allow me to do anything else).
Install Peppermint OS
Something I really don't understand... it launches the Ubuntu Recovery Media (which was already installed when I received the device)!
Also, it says in the bottom
ERROR: This recovery media only functions on Ubuntu systems.
All I can do is quit (that is, reboot).
One last important thing that comes to my mind: this stick worked just fine on the other computers I've tried it on.
I really hope someone could bring me the light, a friend of mine told me how cool this OS is for EeePCs. Don't want to give up! Thanks.
Edit
I finally could install Peppermint, but not by understanding why I couldn't do it the logical way. Instead, I reinstalled Ubuntu myself (erasing the factory one). Then, I could simply boot on my live USB and perform a fresh install of Peppermint.
So, I still don't know how and why the mentioned problem occurred.
