I just tried doing a fresh install of the 3 flavors of Ubuntu 12.10 and every time I try to boot into the GUI interface, I face an error saying "Fatal Error: No screens detected" and then just thrown into the terminal prompt screen.

Did ubuntu discontinue support for the Intel N2600 (GMA 3600) cpu/gpu? I'm trying to install linux on a Asus EEE PC 1025C netbook.

This sounds like this bug. This can be tested by adding gma500_gfx.blacklist=yes as a boot parameter at the Grub bootloader.

I got my netbook with n2600 cpu starting this way:

  1. Immediately after turning on hold the SHIFT button until GRUB menu appears.
  2. Choose Ubuntu 3.2.x (no recovery, no 3.5.x)

The system will start with poor graphics and cpu performance. Wireless lan, touchpad and external memory won't work either. But with USB-mouse and ethernet cable I got access to network an www. So I will wait for a functionable version of Ubuntu 12.10.
