It would help to know what Mac you are installing this on and whether this disc works on any other system.

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/12.10/release/

i downloaded the Lubuntu 64bt pcc and it installed as easy as Ubuntu but it improved but i get stuck at terminal i can login by pressing ctr alt f1 combination ask name and password i can get in the terminal i could do sudo apt-get upgrade and it updated all but still can't get to desktop,
