ubi-partman crashed + initramfs-tools error/problem on Lubuntu 17.04 install from USB (Asus EeePC 1005PE)
Hello,
I'm trying to install Lubuntu on my EeePC 1005PE, 1.66Ghz Atom proessor, 2GB RAM. I've got several partitions: Windows 7, Linux 10.04 (which for the time being I want to conserve). I have prepared a 80GB partition ext4 for Lubuntu, I also have a 40GB FAT32 partition for data (empty for the time being) and also a large (12GB, I think) SWAP partition. I finally managed to get the USB pendrive to work. I can get the live version of Lubuntu working. When installing from it, I get error messages: Quote:

I don't know how to consult "/var/log/syslog" in the context of a live USB pendrive. I have googled it, and have found info, but am unable to interpret it, that is, info is given, but not exact instructions (commands, step-by-step), and I can't solve the problem. One site said that the installer was attempting to install on a Windows partition and that I am supposed to put a "nodmraid" parameter when installing, but, after several attemps, I realized that I simply do not know how to do this (the "install" command does not work on boot prompt). Looking forward to your replies! Thanks in advance, RM |
Might help. Might not.

Thanks for your reply rokytnji,
So your telling me to run this command?: Code:
$ cd /var/log Quote:
I'm not convinced, but fair enough, I'll try to download Lubuntu again, do the checksums, install on other USB device. You never know. It's worth a shot. I'll keep you posted. The SWAP was formatted years ago for Ubuntu 10.04, which I'm running along side Windows 7. Lubuntu 17.04 is going to be on yet another partition. I was also wondering if there was something in the BIOS that I could modify to solve the problem. Is there an alternative method for installation? Other than launching the live distro and installing from there? If so, what is the procedure? So, I'm going to dig deeper and start from scratch (probably tomorrow), but, in the meantime, if anybody else has any other suggestions, please let me know. Many thanks again, rokytnji. RM |

What ever terminal you are running is just fine. If you are to drop out of desktop. try it at/after the " $ " prompt shown on the black screen full of unintelligible readouts when they are done loading and you are just left with $ or # with them waiting for input from you. |

The problem was during the process of putting the iso onto the usb device. Somehow, the default software on my old Ubuntu 10.04 OS (disk creator or something like that) was doing something wrong. I then used other software and all was okay. Problem solved.
