| willh | I have been attempting to install Jammy Jellyfish on my HP Pro laptop, using a USB drive, but was getting error messages when I rebooted after the "installation complete" message. After that happened I was able to try it out without installing and had no problems for a couple of days. Then Firefox crashed and could not be reopened. When I rebooted | 18:35 |
| willh | I got the following message: "ZSTD Compressed data is corrupted - System halted". I am wondering whether this indicates a problem now in the USB drive or if it is rather in the laptop itself. Tomreyn kindly gave me some help a while back ( before I had a nick) which enabled me to eliminate one original error message I was getting (re VMX). Any | 18:35 |
| willh | advice would be appreciated. | 18:35 |
| tomreyn | willh: so you installed to your internal disk? is this a hdd, an ssd, or something else? | 20:06 |
| willh | to hdd from bootable flash drive. | 20:25 |
| tomreyn | willh: are you able to boot from the hdd now? | 20:27 |
| tomreyn | like, does it work sometimes or have you found a workaround? | 20:27 |
| tomreyn | does this happen to be you? https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=395876 | 20:28 |
| tomreyn | it's the only occasion that i can find of the message you reported you see at boot | 20:28 |
| tomreyn | hmm, you seem to be in canada, not florida, and have a different name, so probably not. | 20:30 |
| tomreyn | this person also uses hp hardware, though | 20:30 |
| willh | Cannot boot, have no workaround. I had read that post at that link. I am in Canada, as you say. | 20:32 |
| willh | That fellow in Florida clearly has higher level of technical knowledge than I do. | 20:36 |
| willh | I was thinking that maybe I should create a fresh bootable USB drive and try again with it. | 20:42 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | willh, it looks like your HDD is dying. | 20:44 |
| willh | So Diogenes, you mean that the ZSTD compressed data is corrupt message relates to the HDD, not the flash drive? | 20:50 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | willh, TLDR, i don't understand what is has to do with the USB drive, it is only used for installing the system, if it gives an error during the installation, in 90% of cases it's a faulty USB drive, in rest, it's HDD. | 20:52 |
| willh | OK | 20:55 |
| tomreyn | willh: you can try to boot to grub and then select an older kernel from the "Advanced" menu, this may let you boot | 22:07 |
| tomreyn | you can also try just booting the default kernel from the grub menu manually, sometimes this also helps. | 22:07 |
| tomreyn | if you can get the system to boot, you can check system logs with journalctl -f (which will print new log records as they are being logged) OR journalctl -b (which will show any logs since last boot) | 22:09 |
| tomreyn | if you suspect that the hdd may be defective, you should look for "media sense" errors on journalctl | 22:12 |
| willh | Thanks a lot Tomreyn, I will try these. Before the most recent attempt to install Jammy, I ran an expansive test of the hard drive, and it passed, 100%. I was previously running Mint, by the way. | 22:31 |
| tomreyn | good luck! | 22:32 |
| willh | Thanks again. | 22:33 |
