It happens to me, too.
======================
Something (big) cropped up. When I returned to my NetBook, the screen had locked. Typed my password in. System then (visually) unlocked itself, paused briefly and then locked me back out again. You can test this more quickly by using the keyboard shortcut of CTRL+ALT+l
Naturally I thought I'd got the password wrong. Tried typing in the password in upper case and it didn't do the above - it gave a red error message, pretty much expected.
The only way I could get into a locked system again was to chose a "Shutdown" menu option.
Played around with it for a bit. Managed to unlock the NetBook successfully once - then it resumed its unhelpful behaviour.
And here are my system's details.

OK. Used your link and downloaded MD5SUMS and zesty-desktop-i386.iso. Ran md5sum and it checked out OK:-
1c3f420bb80754bc3b31eb479d77e3b5 zesty-desktop-i386.iso
Used Startup Disc Creator on a 4GB USB flash drive.
Hardware used to install iso on:
Samsung NC10 - hawking
Intel Atom N270, 1.66GHz, 32-bit, 2GiB RAM, 149.05 GiB hard drive, no optical drive, Ethernet and WiFi connections
Full details see here:- https://gist.github.com/21b61903871ee685fc79
Booted install media without Ethernet cable connected. Had to reboot system after connecting Ethernet cable before it was happy to continue the update. Opted for "Download updates while installing Lubuntu" and "Install third-party software". Chose option to wipe hard drive and install Lubuntu on top of it. Put in a hostname of "hawking" for this NetBook. Installer said there was already another system on the network called "hawking". Decided not to argue so named the system "hawking2".
Install completed successfully and asked for the (installation) storage medium at a suitable time.
Rebooted system, logged in. The start/swift menu icon isn't present. Ran Software Updater OK. Saw an email on lubuntu-devel complaining about Firefox not working. On my NetBook, ran Firefox (version 50.1.0) ran fine and I Googled "Hello World".
Normally I only use the "alternate" iso images and in the install I repartition the hard drive manually. For some reason I did it a little differently this time :)
