| Nick78 | Hello? Not sure where I am at but am having a heck of a time installing Lubuntu on a Toshiba Laptop...I have searched everywhere I can think of to get help. | 00:57 |
|---|---|---|
| Nick78 | I am willing to document all I've tried to help others. | 00:58 |
| kc2bez | Nick78: you have landed in the support channel so you are in the right place. | 00:59 |
| kc2bez | Let us know what you have tried and the errors you are getting. | 00:59 |
| kc2bez | Also, let us know which version. | 00:59 |
| Nick78 | I can download and install ok...the first time...versions 18.04, 20.04.2 and 20.04.3, and 21.04. Errors I get once installed is that it won't reboot, shutdown or cold boot properly. Is constantly going into a sleep | 01:02 |
| Nick78 | or suspend mode. | 01:02 |
| Nick78 | From the Recovery menu, if I go into System Summary is says my Physical Volume is Bad. | 01:03 |
| Nick78 | Volume Groups are OK. | 01:04 |
| kc2bez | Ah, ok. It might be good to boot from a live iso and run a fsck on the disk just to make sure things are ok. | 01:04 |
| Nick78 | fsck will not run from the Recovery menu. I think it ran clean when I tried it from the USB drive. | 01:04 |
| kc2bez | heh you beat me to it. | 01:05 |
| Nick78 | thx Dan :) | 01:05 |
| Nick78 | I've seen 2 different logon screens at times...the usual blue 20.04 screen, but another red and black logon screen at times. | 01:06 |
| kc2bez | That is the text based Plymouth screen. Strange that it changes between the two. | 01:07 |
| Nick78 | The blue always showed up first. When coming out of sleep or suspend mode, occasionally it would go to this red/black screen. | 01:08 |
| kc2bez | As far as suspend, have you tried disabling the power management and screensaver? | 01:08 |
| Nick78 | Only thru configuration manager. | 01:08 |
| Nick78 | Sorry...Power Management Settings...yes | 01:09 |
| kc2bez | ok, how about screensaver? | 01:10 |
| Nick78 | This is a dual-boot machine with Windows Vista on the main partition. | 01:10 |
| kc2bez | gotcha | 01:11 |
| Nick78 | (btw, I hear MS is coming out with Windows 11, making you guys even more important!) | 01:11 |
| kc2bez | Keeping all the machines alive with Linux. ;) | 01:12 |
| kc2bez | The other thing that comes to mind is temperature. Sometimes that can cause things to go south especially under load. | 01:13 |
| Nick78 | It does seem to run a bit hot...and may 'act' better after sitting overnight. I will see what happens tomorrow morning. | 01:14 |
| Nick78 | At one time I had a widget or something telling me it was up to 120 degrees.. | 01:15 |
| kc2bez | that is hot enough to cause a shutdown. | 01:15 |
| Nick78 | Will Lubuntu not shut down automatically when too hot? | 01:16 |
| Nick78 | I'll let it cool off. | 01:16 |
| kc2bez | The system itself will invoke the power off if too high. | 01:17 |
| Nick78 | ok, good to know, thx Dan. I will let it cool off to see what happens and check back if I still have problems. thanks | 01:18 |
| kc2bez | Sounds good, take care. | 01:19 |
| dragon2 | I have trouble with a HP printer, printing works fine, but scanning with date from printer to pc haults a bit | 08:19 |
| dragon2 | The printer asks me to download drivers directly from HP | 08:19 |
| dragon2 | the hp site advice to use drivers from a different place | 08:20 |
| dragon2 | I guess lubuntu or ubuntu is the right place? | 08:20 |
| dragon2 | I have looked under menu-preferances-printer | 08:22 |
| Nick78 | Good morning. I am new to this chat and Lubuntu. I have successfully installed and used it on my desktop but am having a heck of a time installing it on my Toshiba Laptop. | 11:44 |
| Nick78 | I've tried several versions...latest now is 20.04.3. My questions are: | 11:45 |
| Nick78 | 1. After a clean install I see my Physical Volume is still not OK (BAD) from the System-Summary report during a recovery session. | 11:45 |
| Nick78 | 2. After a clean install, I go into Discover and it immediately reports the metadata checksum is incorrect. | 11:46 |
| Nick78 | Are these 2 things normal after a fresh install? | 11:46 |
| Nick78 | My problem right now is I have to press the power button several times before getting a desktop to come up. | 11:47 |
| Nick78 | I have changed in Power Management to either do nothing or perform a shutdown if battery is low or when I close the lid. | 11:47 |
| Nick78 | CLosing the lid does nothing. | 11:48 |
| Nick78 | I even get 2 different logon screens during bootup.,.the typical Lubuntu 20.04 purple/blue screen...then later on after waking it up, I get a Red/Black Flame login screen. | 11:49 |
| Nick78 | I now wonder if there is a Power Managment fix... | 11:50 |
| lubot | [telegram] <Halis> So your physical volume is bad? (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <Nick78> 1. After a clean install I see my Physical Volume is still not OK (BAD) from the System-Summary report during a recovery session.) | 13:21 |
| lubot | [telegram] <Halis> Then you should check SSD/HDD | 13:22 |
| guiverc | @Halis, Nick78 left before I could respond (wasn't quick to leave; but we can't always respond in time) | 13:24 |
| lubot | [telegram] <Halis> Can he join later again the İRC and see the older messages? | 13:25 |
| lubot | [telegram] <Halis> İ am not familiar with İRC | 13:26 |
| guiverc | only if the user thinks to look up IRClogs. Most clients can only record messages when running (ie. when they're online) | 13:26 |

| Nick78 | Hi. I am new to L/Ubuntu and am wondering what is the best way to document a problem in hopes that someone may look at it someday? I see there are lots of Linux and ubuntu websites. My problem may be simple: | 23:49 |
| Nick78 | Several installations of Lubuntu (18.04, 20.04.2, 20.04.3, 21.04) on to my Toshiba Laptop, (dual booting with WIndows Vista), I have to continually Press the Power button to get to the LQXt desktop. | 23:52 |
