[07:55] G'day Jimmy164, if you have a Lubuntu Support question please ask it (try and keep to a single line, and be patient, people will respond when they are able).. For non support chat though please use #lubuntu-offtopic [08:02] Hello [08:07] I am trying to install Lubuntu 18.10, 32-bit version on my old pc computer (it has a Palermo 90nm Amd cpu and 518MB or Ram). After using Rufus to render my flash drive bootable, I couldn't find a usb boot option from my Bios, so i installed acustom extended bios menu where I was able to boot lubuntu. I chose language, and pressed enter on Run [08:07] Lubuntu. But after that, a black screen appears than automatically runs some commands, and i get a print_req_error io error dev fd0 sector 0 [08:09] This is where my system prompt and installation stops. How can I fix this? [08:13] Hello? [08:15] Can someone assist me? [08:16] @jimmy190 Lubuntu 18.10 is EOL or end-of-life [08:16] What is that supposed to mean? [08:17] andriana20, just ask your question (try and keep to a single line), people will reply when they can (my last line was to prior question) [08:17] Sorry guys, this is jimmy (i got disconnected and had to create a new username) [08:18] I will repeat my problem : I am trying to install Lubuntu 18.10, 32-bit version on my old pc computer (it has a Palermo 90nm Amd cpu and 518MB or Ram). After using Rufus to render my flash drive bootable, I couldn't find a usb boot option from my Bios, so i installed acustom extended bios menu where I was able to boot lubuntu. I chose language, and [08:18] pressed enter on Run Lubuntu. But after that, a black screen appears than automatically runs some commands, and i get a print_req_error io error dev fd0 sector 0 This is where my system prompt and installation stops. How can I fix this? [08:19] Lubuntu 18.10 or the 2018-October release of Lubuntu is end-of-life, it upgraded to 19.04 which itself is EOL now too. 19.10 reaches EOL in a matter of hours. You don't want to use the EOL software; or if you do, you need to support yourself [08:20] andriana20: You can find the supported release downloads at https://lubuntu.me/downloads [08:21] Guys, I've got a critical installation error with my system. It happens no matter whether I use 18.10, or 18.04. My system is 32-bit , and I would appreciate slmeone who could assist me with this specific issue of mine [08:21] 512MB of RAM is insufficient to run as a 'live' system AND do installations, which is why the alternate ISO existed (it's last production was 18.04 though) [08:22] We don't support EOL software [08:22] And How come My system Runs a Windows 7 32-bit OS [08:22] ? [08:23] Yes, you already informed me you don't support 18.10 . Take this issue as an inquiry of General Sense. Alright? [08:23] Okay, with <768MB of RAM you need to use the alternate installer, which was last produced for Lubuntu 18.04 LTS as already stated. [08:23] If my system can Run Windows 7 on 518MB of Ram, why It wouldn't run Lubuntu? [08:24] Lubuntu will run, but the installer won't run in 512MB of RAM ontop of a 'live' system. Not even windows 7 runs in a 'live' environment. [08:25] What do you mean? 'live'? Did I ever mention that term? [08:25] andriana20: did you use the alternate installer? [08:25] Lubuntu 18.10 only comes on a 'live' system [08:26] So live means , running an OS on top of an already installed one? [08:26] Can you define what a live system is? [08:26] a 'live' system is a non-installed OS being run, ie. all from memory [08:26] live means running the os from DVD or USB [08:27] Alright then, lets suppose that I want to install directly on top of W7, and not demo it. Thats what i tried to do. But i suppose there s no way tk make that happen? [08:28] you need to use the alternate ISO if you have <768MB of RAM which you said you have [08:28] I mean, the way systems work, any single way I try to install Lubuntu, I will have to run it live first? [08:29] no, the alternate ISO doesn't run a 'live' system, it uses the debian installer. [08:29] Okay. The alternate ISO exists and will work for all Lubuntu versions? [08:30] I've already stated the last alternate ISO was created in April-2018, ie. original 18.04 media only (no .1, no .2, etc) [08:31] I am asking that I am shown some understanding. I am not an expert and its my first attempt, ok? === acheronuk is now known as RikMills [08:33] andriana20, https://lubuntu.me/downloads/ scroll down to 18.04.4 Bionic Beaver LTS (LXDE) and you'll see alternate ISOs for x86 (32-bit) & amd64/x86_64 (64-bit) [08:34] the alternate ISO is older, so will have 2+ years of updates to install, unlike other media though which has been refreshed 4 times since 2018-april. [08:34] I do not have a fettish with any specific Lubuntu version over others. Carrying the limited lnowledge I have for computers, I wanted to install the best possible version which will offer me better system stability than windows 7 do. I just discovered that my cpu instruction set support 64-bit at most. Which Lubuntu version do you best recommend me [08:34] to start with? Thanks for the aptience [08:35] I just chose 18.10 because of its pretty LDqt. But i have no problem ceding this feature for the better of my system [08:36] I also want the best System response (least input and output lag) [08:36] It'll depend on your RAM which you've indicated twice+ was 518MB (an unusual size, it's usually 512MB or a power of 2 being binary which is why I read it as 512 sorry). 18.10 is EOL thus not advisable unles syou're offline only. [08:37] Yup, i want to revive my friend's 518mb Ram pc [08:37] Sorry if my size stating isn t exact, its at 500+ MBs of RAM [08:38] An AMD Sempron 3000+ (Palermo 90nm) with an instriction set of 64-bit [08:39] the 512Mb is your problem, Lubuntu 18.10 requires more RAM to install as it only came on a 'live' ISO. We cannot help with 18.10 though. [08:39] I understand performance is limited, but I want the best lubuntu version for internet browsing and simple everyday use [08:39] Alright then, of course I am willing to choose a different version [08:39] Do you recommend me to go to 20.04 64-bit or towards an older 32-bit one? [08:39] I've already said Lubuntu 18.04 LTS is the only options I see, installed via alternate ISO as you have <768MB of RAM I'd use 32-bit [08:40] 64-bit has a slightly larger overhead because each RAM address is double-the-size.. it's a small hit yes, but on such a small RAM, every RAM hit will be noticed. [08:40] (non-local addresses anyway, relative addresses will be same size) [08:41] I see [08:41] I really liked the ldqt of newer versions [08:41] So i guess using 20.04 would be suicidal for my system? [08:41] * guiverc clarified my answer as I saw a flaw, even if you didn't understand it... ie. 32bit is slightly more efficient. (very slightly) [08:43] you don't have enough RAM to boot it I suspect, though even if you could boot, you won't be able to run `calamares` I bet (the installer used by Lubuntu LXQt releases) [08:43] it's ok, don't bother with what i looks like i understand guys, i just want to get through with this [08:44] Ok. Know anything about the print_req_error io error dev fd0 sector 0 i got? [08:45] Got this even after i disabled my floppy disk drive [08:45] I would ignore it, your machine thinks you have a floppy (fd0) but you have no media inserted thus sector cannot be read (ie. no floppy in the drive to read)... how I read your error [08:46] I still have some boxes with floppies installed, I ignore the message when I see it [08:46] Yeah, but this is where my lubuntu installation prompt stops [08:46] And i have to restart my pc [08:47] Virtually, this was the only problem i had with i 18.10 [08:47] So i couldn't innor it really [08:47] Ignore* [08:48] okay, Calamares has an issue with floppies, it'll try and write the MBR to a floppy if it believes a floppy is present.. It's an issue which has now been fixed, but the fix only just occurred and isn't in any release media (for Lubuntu or any other distro yet either, it's very recent fix) [08:49] fix is in calamares 3.2.27 released 9 days ago [08:50] Yes, but the problem is that I encounter that problem without even having Booted Lubuntu at all. I am on windows 7 [08:51] So software fixes are unsuable for an Operating system installation error [08:51] Unless there is something i could do to bypass it [08:51] I encounter this at the very start of my first Lubuntu boot Attempt [08:52] I get the Lubuntu Logo choose language , 4 options (first is Run Lubuntu) [08:53] I can't (or won't) help with EOL releases sorry. [08:53] And after running lubuntu, a black screen command prompt that runs automatic commands leads me to this error [08:54] Yes, but this error can easily occur with 18.04 lts version and i need to combat this error regarless [08:54] You are most welcome to use EOL (end of life) software but all security patches are no longer provided by Canonical/Ubuntu community, so responsibility is all on you. Official support options are also closed, as we do not encourage the use of unsupported EOL software. If you're competent enough to back-port all security patches yourself, you won't need support anyway. [08:54] 18.04 uses different installers (debian OR ubiquity) to 18.10 so is different [08:55] I will see about that. I will be here again if it reoccurs [08:56] Is my boot method on point at all? [08:56] Used rufus to pass the iso to my flash drive [08:56] I don't know your hardware, so any advice I give it won't be worth much [08:56] I've also never used rufus to write media either, so cannot help there. [08:56] What do you need to know about my hardware? [08:57] Rufus is adviced to be used in the official website [08:57] What do you mean? [08:58] I was introduced to rufus by the lubuntu installation guide [08:58] https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/1/1.2/booting_the_image.html is all Ican provide. (I've never used rufus in my life, never seen it running on a machine even) [08:58] Ok, so what is my alternative tested by you? [08:58] I've not used it sorry, I use windows maybe twice a year (i'm lucky) [08:59] I ll check it [08:59] It's not luck oriented, but choice oriented [09:00] So do not worry about running out of luck [09:03] Yet you need to understand how windows function so you can advise windows users who want to turn lubuntu [09:04] lubuntu seemed to boot just fine using a rufus flash drive [09:05] I don't know if it will detect by iso bruning [09:06] Anyway [09:07] I will try to get it both ways and see ehich one works [09:07] Hopefully it gets resolved..! [09:16] guiverc still here? [09:17] yes, but busy doing things.... I'll respond when I can (like most people in room, or those invisible as on telegram) [09:20] guiverc understood. i want to install lubuntu to a friend as a service. So you understand that I have to make one visit this afternoon, and that i i do not get there prepared with the correct lub version, a properly bootable usb stick and the knowledge to do it, it s one day s work that goes to waste, and repeat tomorrow.. what do you think should [09:20] i do [09:21] andriana20, what's the issue? [09:22] Its a long story diogenes, we discussed it with guiverc for the last hour . Can you check the chat history? [09:22] andriana20, you can always compress it in 1 sentence. [09:23] I will try [09:24] Nice name btw, sounds like it came out of Greece, where i come from [09:24] yeah it comes from Sinope ) [09:24] Sinope? [09:25] Sorry, i got off topic [09:25] My friend has this old computer (2006 est.) [09:29] and? [09:30] Cpu: amd sempron 3000+ palermo 90nm (64-bit) , and 512MB of ram. I booted ubuntu 18.10 (which Yes, i now know is not supported anymore , booted it into rufus properly, and went off to his house. I was trying to get its BIOS to read and boot my flash drive, to no avail. So i installed an extended custom Bios menu (called Free... Something) and i [09:30] finally got the LUBUNTU logo. I chose language, then hit Run lubuntu, and after initiating it, i got a black coand prompt that automatically runs commands, and got anprint_req_error io error dev fd0 sector 0 error, which pauses the executional, and gets me stuck there. So i have to restart my pc for it to respond. So i couldnt do it all night long [09:30] ) [09:31] His system is currently running windows 7 32-bit [09:32] It was a crapshoot [09:32] Mobo is Microstar LS-7135 (Socket 940) [09:35] andriana20, first i'd not use rufus but either etcher or win32diskimager, and for such ancient hardware i'd use antiX which is a Greek distro btw. [09:36] Will the software used to make my flash drive bootable fix the error? [09:37] I was prompted to rufus through the lubuntu inst. guide [09:39] andriana20, i shared what i'd do, you decide to follow or now, everything is a trial and error method, you try and see. [09:39] not* [09:39] Is there anything wrong with the lubuntu version I decided to use? [09:40] I think booting my rufus flash drive worked fine, right? [09:40] I can't imagine how that would be the source of my issue [09:40] Lubunto is for low spec hardware but low spec doesn't necessarily mean old. [09:41] Wait, what do you mean? [09:41] and i'd not use rufus. [09:41] That lubuntu is not suited for that system? [09:42] Ok, which is my best option instead of rufus? [09:43] I mean, etcher, win32dmanager, antiX [09:43] I want to lock in 1 choice [09:43] andriana20, https://etcher.download/#Download_Your_Copy_Of_Etcher [09:44] I tested Lubuntu 18.04, 18.10 & 19.04 on older hardware than yours andriana20 , but always with 1GB ram (or more) [09:44] Okay [09:44] Oh.. [09:44] Does that mean.. [09:45] My ram is insufficient to run it live? [09:45] andriana20, but in any case, even if you are lucky and you install any distro on 512MB or RAM, as soon as you open a webpage in the browser, your system will froze. [09:46] Wait a minute. So you're saying i'd rather stay on windows 7 32-bit? [09:46] I thought lubuntu optimizes performance and response time for such systems [09:47] is that system running win7? i don't believe. [09:47] andriana20, diogenes_ has already given his suggestion (antix), if lubuntu 18.04 doesn't suit, I'd suggest pure debian [09:47] Of course it is [09:47] It is nice to hear a second perspective [09:48] But i kept your adivce guiverc [09:48] ok then you've been given a few choices already, make up your mind and pick what you think suits you better. [09:48] Guys.. [09:48] This system was purchased about 2006 [09:49] I mean, it had to run at least one kind of OS [09:49] Anyhow [09:49] I am asking you guys because of your experience [09:50] I get that annoying error [09:51] Should I change anything in my methods? Do you know what the problem is? [09:53] I at least want to understand what you mean by t [09:53] if lubuntu 18.04 doesn't suit, I'd suggest pure debian [09:54] @andriana20 [ Cpu: amd sempron 3000+ palermo 90nm (64-bit) , and 512MB of ram. I …], Which pc he has? [09:55] Did you try to enter into boot menu first and then choose the ...wait does that device have uefi? [09:58] No, I don't think so [09:59] It's got the classic Blue Bios Boot menu [09:59] DEL button for Bios, F11 for Setup I think [09:59] DEL button for Boot** [10:00] Only problem is, I couldn't see my flash hdd as boot device [10:00] So i installed an extended bios menu that actually detected it [10:10] guiverc I will do what you suggested. Do i Have to do something with my Rufus Flash drive right now to de-Rufus it? Or shall I just delete the files and it's good as new? [10:12] I've never used rufus, so cannot advise with rufus [10:13] Ok.. [10:14] Can you give me a quick summary of the process I shall follow? Download the alternate 18.04.4, burn it on my usb stick, and then what do i do on that pc? [10:14] Shall i use my extended bios menu again to run from my usb stick. [10:15] Or does that installer follow a dofferent process? [10:17] andriana20, I haven't used the debian installer in a very long time, I cannot advise sorry. (blue background is all that comes to mind, but i'll be confusing too many installations to be of help).. as for booting, each box is somewhat different & I don't know your box. [10:17] in your case, I'd do a VM install on a local machine now, or before you go... so you're familiar with it... [10:18] Its alright [10:19] If the process goes smooth, i dont mind first time encounters [10:19] Its just that print_req_error io error dev fd0 sector 0 i m afraid [10:20] Imagine a full screen command prompt, that the system is running commands on its own and ends up print_req_error io error dev fd0 sector 0 [10:21] And stays there indefinitely [10:21] I think that's just a message, not your issue.. the last message written before your issue. but opinion only [10:21] What do you mean by the last message before your issue? [10:23] different messages (warnings etc) get printed... they are not always the error that kills the install/program, but clues as to where it is (what it had done), more than the problem itself.. [10:25] Hey [10:37] By the way, i ran a performance test on my main pc and it stated that it is suffering from excessive memory paging [10:38] Isn't it odd? [10:38] I got 4 gb of ram [11:24] Hi guiverc [11:24] Sorry, which burning software did you recommend me to use? Chat history expired [11:26] a browser can show all chat history; https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2020/07/16/%23lubuntu.txt, I don't think I've ever written an ISO from windows [11:26] Diogenes suggested me 3 programs [11:27] I think antix and 2 other [11:28] I'll check it out, thx [11:29] @andriana20 [ guiverc I will do what you suggested. Do i Have to do something wit …], U need to format it manually. [11:30] Lubot So rufus is excluded? [11:30] Oh, got it [11:30] andriana20, ISO writing software: 1. Etcher you can find it here: https://etcher.download/#Download_Your_Copy_Of_Etche 2. win32diskimager - https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/ and anitX is NOT a burning software, antiX is a Linux Distribution same as Lubuntu but it's based on Debian. [11:31] diogenes_ alright, that helped quite well [11:31] @guiverc [ a browser can show all chat history; https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2020/0 …], U want to install windows or linux?

I dont know the key for your pc [11:44] Cud be f9 , f10 or esc [11:44] Or somethimg else [11:45] @nihal697 I have already accesed my setup nd bios, thats not the problem [11:45] @nihal697 I said AFTER BOOTING LUBUNTU FROM MY FLASH DRIVE, it gave me this damn req Error [11:47] @andriana20 [ @nihal697 I said AFTER BOOTING LUBUNTU FROM MY FLASH DRIVE, it gave …], When exactly? While checking the drive? … Did you do a system check on usb for errors? [11:47] Before booting it up [11:47] Yes i did a memory test [11:47] I mean [11:48] @nihal697 It gets me to this blue Lubuntu menu, it says Start Lubuntu, check disc for defects, Test memory and Boot from first hard disk [11:49] @andriana20 [ Yes i did a memory test], Memory test it said? … I mean the test After booting the usb when you choose to reboot into lubuntu [11:49] @andriana20 [ @nihal697 It gets me to this blue Lubuntu menu, it says Start Lubun …], Check disc for defects [11:49] Did u run that? [11:49] @nihal697 I press Start Lubuntu, I get a black full screen command prompt, some commands are executed, then it transitions to a new same one, and i get that error and get stuck st that unfinished command [11:50] So it never boots [11:50] Lubuntu never starts [11:50] @andriana20 [ @nihal697 I press Start Lubuntu, I get a black full screen command …], Do a disc check first [11:50] I get stuck at that black screen with commands executed [11:50] What disk check? [11:50] It shows you if the bootable was created properly [11:50] My disk is fine [11:50] check disc for defects [11:50] Jesus fuckin christ [11:50] Wait [11:51] Jesus won't help [11:51] @andriana20 [ My disk is fine], Its not the disk but the check for yoor bootable. [11:51] @andriana20 [ Jesus won't help], Looks like he technically cant [11:51] Now do a disk check thn whininh [11:51] @nihal697 version 18.10 which i attempted to install i am unsure if it had the option check disc for defects. The other 3 were definitely included [11:52] In https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/_images/boot_installer.png it's the third option in the menu, it validates your write to media [11:52] Yes [11:52] Thats where i read the options from [11:52] I cant exactly remember if they were the exact same yesterday [11:52] There were 4 options, not 5! [11:53] Because these options differ from lubuntu version to another [11:53]
