Hi all. I tried to install Kubuntu 12.10 on my laptop, chip Intel Pentium (R) M Processor. But i can't install with both USB boot & DVD. When i run installer, system will notice a error:

This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: pae
Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU

This problem appear when i install Linux OS, i tried Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Chromes OS, JoliCloud OS, but with Windows it run normally.
I can't find solution of this problem. Could u help me. Thank for ur help!

With I think they switched to pae being mandatory from 12.04 onwards. Just read this: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/how-t...n-non-pae.html

I know its inconveniencing but its only affected a minimum number of users so don't hate on Cannonical. By the way, You did not search for a solution. I googled the issue and this was the first link!

You can install 32 bit Kubuntu 12.04 (LTS) without issue on that laptop.

Can i understand not exactly about System requirement of software publisher, perhaps?. I read on support page & some forums of Kubuntu & Google Chrome, they said minumum of configuration is chip 800MHz & RAM 256 MB for both. But when i run Chrome on Kubuntu, it run slowly, although peripherals as keyboard, mouse...run normal speed but software program run very slowly, sometimes it react slower some seconds than hardware impact. I have tried to using default browser onKubuntu (as a dragon) but situation be improved not significant...
Should i how understand exactly about System required configuration, bro?. Thanks

Oh lol, unexpect has different of Wikipedia & Ubuntu forum disscussion topic. Should i use what version of Linux with that conf...?

[dequire]

Install kubuntu-lowfat-settings and reboot. See if that helps

[SteveRiley]

I doubt one should expect decent performance from Chrome with only 512 MB RAM...

[seoernghiepdu]

It's ok with Kubuntu low fat, thanks bro ...!

My laptop has the same video card.

I use Crunchbang on it. It runs out of the box.

By default it is Openbox, but I do: apt-get install xfce4* - and xfce4 runs fine.

If all else fails try Crunchbang and see if it will run with KDE

Also I definitely have to give a shout out to Bodhi. Give it a go (live-cd/usb is recommended). Absolutely brilliant distro for old laptops and I think it is sort of orientated at lower end hardware. Also E17 is a joy when it comes to limited resources without sacrificing basic functionality.

I genuinely feel that you won't get a satisfactory experience with your hardware and something like KDE.
