| jack4 | hi guys, I have installed lubuntu 18.10 to an old laptop, but when I boot it shows a white screen and the mouse cursor can move on it but nothing else appears on screen, how to solve this? | 16:03 |
| jack4 | I can start lubuntu from dvd | 16:03 |
| jack4 | but not without dvd | 16:03 |
| n-iCe | hi jack4 | 16:05 |
| jack4 | hi n-ICe | 16:05 |
| n-iCe | can't you use a usb? | 16:05 |
| jack4 | I use a usb but the white screen appears | 16:05 |
| jack4 | I use a dvd and it boots | 16:05 |
| n-iCe | Weird. | 16:06 |
| n-iCe | How did you make the usb bootable? | 16:06 |
| jack4 | I downloaded the iso file and with rufus I wrote it to usb and to a dvd | 16:07 |
| jack4 | I boot with dvd | 16:07 |
| jack4 | if I don t have the dvd the white screen with a cursor appears | 16:08 |
| jack4 | if I have dvd it boots | 16:08 |
| jack4 | is there any way to download something to repair my installed version? | 16:09 |
| jack4 | can I boot with dvd and install latest kernel? I couldnt install because it says read only mode | 16:10 |
| jack4 | I could not install a kernel | 16:11 |
| jack4 | n-ICe I am not very experienced | 16:18 |
| jack4 | I think somehting is wrong with screen settings maybe or maybe a linux kernel is old | 16:19 |
| jack4 | but if the cursor is moving means there must be a fix | 16:19 |
| apt-ghetto | Do you see the Grub boot menu? | 16:20 |
| jack4 | no nothing | 16:21 |
| jack4 | I dont see anything | 16:21 |
| jack4 | it shows a white screen | 16:21 |
| jack4 | and a mouse cursor I can move | 16:21 |
| apt-ghetto | Press ESC or the SHIFT key after power on your machine | 16:21 |
| apt-ghetto | When you see the boot entries, press the key "E" and then you can edit the options | 16:22 |
| apt-ghetto | Look for the words "quiet splash" and replace them with "nomodeset" | 16:22 |
| apt-ghetto | Then boot (I think with CTRL+X or F10) | 16:23 |
| jack4 | okI will try this | 16:23 |
| jack4 | apt-ghetto should I use nomodeset after booting my machine from hard-drive? | 16:29 |
| apt-ghetto | When you power on, you should see the Grub menu after a few seconds, and your installed Ubuntu should be selected | 16:30 |
| apt-ghetto | Press the key "E" and edit the boot options | 16:31 |
| apt-ghetto | After that the installed Lubuntu will start and maybe you can log in | 16:31 |
| jack4 | I think that grub menu does not appear | 16:33 |
| apt-ghetto | That is possible, if you don't have a dual boot | 16:33 |
| apt-ghetto | So you should press repeatedly the ESC key or SHIFT and the Grub menu should appear | 16:33 |
| apt-ghetto | But you have to do it from the beginning, before your installed Lubuntu starts | 16:34 |
| apt-ghetto | The Grub menu looks like => https://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1353953772.png | 16:37 |
| jack4 | yes I have single boot and grub not starts | 16:39 |
| apt-ghetto | If Grub does not start, no operating system is loaded and you will not see a mouse cursor | 16:40 |
| apt-ghetto | If you see a mouse cursor, the boot loader has started the operating system and part of the graphical user interface | 16:41 |
| apt-ghetto | But let's take another approach | 16:41 |
| apt-ghetto | Start your installed system and when you see the cursor | 16:41 |
| apt-ghetto | and then press CTRL+ALT+F4 | 16:42 |
| apt-ghetto | You should see a text based login screen | 16:42 |
| jack4 | ok | 16:57 |
| apt-ghetto | No login with your credentials | 16:58 |
| apt-ghetto | Now login with your credentials | 16:58 |
| apt-ghetto | The password is not shown, not even as "****", so type it in and ENTER | 16:59 |
| n-iCe | sorry, was working | 16:59 |
| n-iCe | Did you solve it? | 17:00 |
| jack4 | ok I will try this later | 17:00 |
| jack4 | I will go to that pc | 17:00 |
| jack4 | I just keep notes | 17:00 |
| apt-ghetto | When you are logged in, update your system with `sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade` | 17:01 |
| jack4 | ok I will try it | 17:03 |
