An unusual problem.

Not in order, but perhaps try some/all of these steps:

1. check logs for error messages especially journalctl -b (check the manpages for usage parameters)
2. check your...

Have you tried switching to Wayland instead of X11? Does that make a difference? Have you tried booting an older kernel and does that help?

What graphics card do you have installed and how much...

You need to boot the laptop with a live USB and choose to Try Ubuntu.

Then follow the instructions to run the boot info script (same as boot repair). Do not try and repair until we can see what is...

+100 to everything said here!

Just to put things into perspective, I recently installed the full desktop version of Xubuntu in my test partition. It took 20 minutes.

You are right of course. Either way I will be editing in some way or another.

I do find it odd that the installer does not offer the option but I guess there must be good reasons for this.

My...

I understand why users would find this an attractive option. However, I am used to my custom GRUB configurations and prefer to keep it that way.

Once you get the hang of the syntax, writing custom...

Appreciate the response but I have always been one of the users who recommends against using Grub Customizer.

The question is whether or not it is possible to install Ubuntu 24.04 without a...

In other words, there is no way to tell subiquity to NOT install the bootloader? Even using cli parameters?

My mistake then. Which installer is currently being used?

The situation is like this:
I want to install 24.04 to sda6.

I have another install on sda5 with a custom GRUB configuration that I...

Hi,

I would like to install 24.04 but without the bootloader.

I do not see that option when starting Ubiquity and selecting Manual Installation. Only options are either sda or sdb. I was hoping...

I don't recognize that particular error but as I said booting often has errors that are really not that consequential. They only become problematic if you cannot reach the desktop or boot at all.
...

The quickest and easiest solution to try and figure out what is going on would be to use a liveUSB with a current version of Ubuntu and boot the computer. Select the option to Try Ubuntu.

Then,...

We don't know what version of Ubuntu you are on. We don't know if you are booting with Windows. We don't know what the computer specs. are like memory and graphics card.

If you want help, you need...

Neither do we.

If you are somehow able to take a photo of at least the start of the error message with your phone and upload the picture...it might tell us something.

But then again, you were...

Have you checked whether the logs are filling up?

For example:

du -h /var/log

Errors often appear during the boot process, whether from a live media or a regular install. For the most part, they are just warnings and can be ignored.

What makes you think this is more...

Just to add to what ajgreeny has already said:

1. stop all write activity to the disk
2. what types of files were there, text, image?

Go to Software & Updates >> Other Software >> remove the PPA from there (requires authentication).

Then run
sudo apt update in a terminal.

Issue resolved?

+1 for Bodhi Linux.

I have it running on an old Intel Atom netbook with just 1GB of RAM. Works smoothly for pretty much everything even browsers.

I'm not enough of an expert to add to what MAFoElffen and TheFu have already said in another thread.

However, I will say that you seem to be overcomplicating things a wee bit.

My advice is that...

Which version of Ubuntu are you trying to install?

Please post all the specs. for the computer.

It's not clear to me what you are hoping to achieve here.

Flashing the BIOS is not without risks; do you have solid backups?

What is currently installed and what are you wanting to do?

Sounds like there might be a few problems here.

Which version of Ubuntu, what are the specs. for the tablet especially graphic card and memory?

If you run the system info script in my signature...

I may be mistaken but I think Vivaldi and LibreWolf have snap free versions. Never tried installing them though so cannot say for sure.

Where was Ubuntu installed? On sda1?

Have you tried fsck from the liveUSB?
