| aaaaaa | On Lubuntu 20.04, when I press install now on the "continue with installation?" popup, the installer just closes. why does this happen and how can I fix it? | 00:40 |
|---|---|---|
| guiverc | aaaaaa, did the verification of your media complete successfully? (ie. no errors found) | 00:44 |
| aaaaaa | UPDATE: I was able to fix it - I just had to boot into safe graphics mode | 00:56 |
| guiverc | well done aaaaaa :) | 00:56 |

| aaaaaa | so i'm still having issues, after showing the acer logo, i select "ubuntu" it gave me 4 messages, then it shows me the lubuntu loading screen, and doesn't go past it. | 01:34 |
| aaaaaa | i rebooted, now it's just showing me 4 messages with a mouse cursor. it's making hdd activity. | 01:38 |
| aaaaaa | the 4 messages are "..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC", "ERST: Can not request [mem 0xbdeff000-0xbdefffff] for ERST." "ata3: softreset failed (device not ready)" and "ata5: softreset failed (device not ready" | 01:40 |

| aaaaaa | i'm gonna try rebooting one more time, and if that doesn't work, i'm gonna switch to a different distro. | 01:41 |
| aaaaaa | yeah know it's just a black screen with a cursor, i'm probably gonna switch to a different distro. | 01:44 |
| aaaaaa | now** | 01:44 |
| aaaaaa | yeah i give up on trying to get lubuntu to work | 02:02 |
| guiverc | aaaaaa, it's likely unrelated to distro, but age of software stack. You can look at https://manual.lubuntu.me/lts/A/tips_and_tricks.html?highlight=nomodeset (the `nomodeset` option should allow a box to boot if you've graphics issues, you can then try and `ubuntu-drivers autoinstall` to get additional kernel modules (ie. drivers) installed... | 02:15 |
| guiverc | another option is always using a different kernel stack. LTS releases of Ubuntu offer two stack choices (selected by ISO); GA is the most stable (20.04 & 20.04.1 media for Lubuntu), HWE provides later kernel & thus more modern stack (but this can be problematic for some boxes too); so switching stack may help | 02:16 |
| guiverc | all Ubuntu systems provide the same choices (not just Lubuntu; though Lubuntu media doesn't offer any OEM or the closed-source drivers of main Ubuntu; they can be added post-install though) | 02:17 |
| guiverc | aaaaaa, ^ | 02:17 |
