So I originally had a stock install of Ubuntu 14.04 installed on my Asus EeePC900.
Due to Celeron 900 and Intel built in graphics, Unity was bogging the system down a bit. See related link here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/4dakhx/tailoring_a_default_install_of_1404_for_a_slow_cpu/
I decided to go with LUbuntu, which should speed things up a little bit.
I went through the entire install, all over again LUbuntu 16.04 and when it boots, I get a blank screen where I should have my login screen. I see signs of life, HDD Activity indicator blinking... But nothing else.
Is there any way to boot straight into text console?
Once I boot into text console, what do I do?
Is there any way to boot into standard 640x480x16 colors standard VGA GUI?
I'm asuming this is a driver problem with the integrated Intel graphics. If this assumption is correct, how do I remedy it?

The Intel graphics drivers are not installed by default, that's why it causes blank screen.
- Hold Right Shift key during boot to access Grub menu, then press e key to edit commands.
- Look for the words
quiet splashon screen, use arrow keys to navigate and addnomodesetjust afterquiet splash(leave a space before and after nomodeset). - Press F10 to boot into a low resolution desktop.
- Now use Synaptic package manager(included in Lubuntu 16.04) to search and install
xserver-xorg-video-inteland reboot.
Edit: You may need to enable Restricted, Multiverse and Canonical Partners options in Software & Updates to get access to the Intel drivers.

Same for me. Researching, turns out lubuntu only installed basic system tools for lubuntu, leaving the black screen with HDD activity at top. Don't panic at this weird screen. Make sure internet is connected. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2 in this screen will have you login with username and password. Then $ appears. Type all one line command at the blinking $ like this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop && sudo shutdown -r now. Takes time to complete install. Tap spacebar at black screens to keep install progress "awake". The shutdown -r part in your command reboots it into gui automatically at end.
