[ionic otter]

I have currently bodhi linux i want to switch to lubuntu and i have the iso file and i have made a bootable USB with balena etcher but when try to boot showing plz help

[restive ermine]

what file is that?

[tulip sparrow]

I think it's supposed to be an image

[restive ermine]

can't be too sure

[ionic otter]

Yes

Image

[ionic otter]

See

[restive ermine]

okay, that's bad
failed on initramfs

did you check lubuntu's checksum
your ISO could be corrupted on download

[tulip sparrow]

I think the ISO is corrupted yeah or maybe something went wrong with balena etcher

[restive ermine]

which one did you get?

match your ISOs sha256 checksums with the one listed there (it's' in a link)

23.10: 0072ac362fef0aa2cc496f83389807cc86e9b5e1fa9fe4eaa7a3f728f6d59f2e
22.04.3: ffccfa53a10bacf0b8b7589e85c739e650aef8f38ac4ed66f96fd591396d2f21

[ionic otter]

Yeah I have done that

[restive ermine]

okay, and did it match?

[ionic otter]

It is matching

[restive ermine]

ah, so it's likely balena being the problem

[ionic otter]

No i tried with dd command too but same

[restive ermine]

oh rip

can you post your sha256sum here?

[ionic otter]

Yeah

Here it is

[restive ermine]

hm...
no clue then try ventoy this time

[ionic otter]

Tried

ventoy too

I have tried almost everything

[tulip sparrow]

If you boot the iso what kernel parameters are there? Like, what does grub show when you press edit?

[ionic otter]

edite??

Meanss

[tulip sparrow]

Press the F2 key on the boot option, it will show all the options for the boot entry

[ionic otter]

Nothing is happening when pressing f2

[tulip sparrow]

Maybe if you press the letter "e" it shows

It's been a while since I used grub 😅

[ionic otter]

When I have to press f2 or e

When clicking try lubuntu or install

When pressing e shows ths

[ionic otter]

See

[tulip sparrow]

Can you remove the "quiet" and the "splash" text and then press F10 ?

[ionic otter]

Quite/splash --- this whole

Or just quite/splash

[tulip sparrow]

Only the two words quiet and splash

[ionic otter]

Ok

[tulip sparrow]

Then it will do a verbose boot so we can see what's going wrong

[ionic otter]

Is this ok

[tulip sparrow]

Looks okay to me

[ionic otter]

F10

[tulip sparrow]

Yep!

[ionic otter]

Showing booting a command line

[ionic otter]

Same

[tulip sparrow]

Hmmm okay I was hoping for a bit different output

Can you try booting a Linux Mint usb stick instead? Maybe the lubuntu iso's are broken somehow, quite unlikely.. But still

[ionic otter]

I have Fedora lxqt usb also

[tulip sparrow]

That would be good too

If you can boot that one just fine then it just seems the lubuntu iso is in bad shape

[ionic otter]

No I can't boot that one also

Nio

Fedora is booting

Earlier it wasn't

But now it stuck in this

[tulip sparrow]

Well that's progress :)

Can take a while if it's older hardware

[ionic otter]

Screen stucks

Cursor is not

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah just be patient, might take some minutes on a slower computer

[ionic otter]

The cursor is stucked here only

[ionic otter]

Ok

[ionic otter]

It's been 5 min

But same

[tulip sparrow]

Hmm yeah that's a bit long by now

What are the specifications of the computer?

[ionic otter]

1gb Ram

64 bits

[tulip sparrow]

What model cpu?

[ionic otter]

Intel core duo

[ionic otter]

Can I remove the usb now??

[tulip sparrow]

Yes

[ionic otter]

The screen is freezed I think

Now??

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah the hardware is really old and fedora isn't going to run on it (a recent fedora that is)

[ionic otter]

It's fedora lxqt

I think it requires less

[tulip sparrow]

Maybe it's a good idea to try a linux distribution like peppermint 32 bit

https://peppermintos.com/guide/downloading/

[ionic otter]

I had peppermint earlier but it was 32 bit

Can I download arch??

Arch linux

[tulip sparrow]

You should be able to yeah

[ionic otter]

Will it run smooth

[tulip sparrow]

But don't install a DE like Gnome or KDE, just install lxqt or xfce4

[ionic otter]

Can u send the link gere

Direct

[tulip sparrow]

Ehh, hard to say. The hardware is really old so I doubt its going to run better than a 32 bit peppermint install

[ionic otter]

Link

[tulip sparrow]

https://archlinux.org/download/

[ionic otter]

It has many download links can u send a specific one for me

[tulip sparrow]

Just pick a link from the list of countries that are closest to you (or the one you are in)

[ionic otter]

Not torrent one plz

Ok

But u said don't install gnome or kde they are one of them??

I am in India which file should I chose

[ionic otter]

They are many

[tulip sparrow]

Doesn't matter tho! You can pick any that's closest to you or the one you are in

[ionic otter]

Yeah I am in india

But in india there are many files

Like 4v1
garudalinux

And many

Which one should I

[tulip sparrow]

http://archlinux.mirror.net.in/archlinux/iso/2024.02.01/archlinux-2024.02.01-x86_64.iso

You can try this one

[ionic otter]

Showing not found an accelerator

[ionic otter]

Description: Your request on the specified host was not found. Check the location and try again

Shows

[tulip sparrow]

It is a working link though, I can download the iso just fine

https://in-mirror.garudalinux.org/archlinux/iso/2024.02.01/archlinux-2024.02.01-x86_64.iso

Here, another

[ionic otter]

Ok it's downloading

[tulip sparrow]

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/installation_guide

You'll be needing this when installing Arch linux :)

[ionic otter]

Ok

[ionic otter]

This laptop os stops working now i will repair it I try to boot arch in my another laptop HP ProBook 605b

And it boots but showing

In 32 bits

I am not able to understand guide

What to do now

[tulip sparrow]

You have to read the guide step by step, it's quite a process 😅 It's not something I am willing to go through step by step. If you have specific questions I can answer those though! (Hopefully)

[ionic otter]

Ok my question is that

When I type up link it shows 3 option

But I am not able to understand how to connect

To the internet

[tulip sparrow]

Do you use wifi or cable? If you are using a cable it should be connected already, which you can test by typing ping archlinux.org

[ionic otter]

I use mobile hotspot

[tulip sparrow]

Then you need to use the iwctl command and the steps listed here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Iwd#Connect_to_a_network

[ionic otter]

I am not able to do

[ionic otter]

When I write any command from here it shows no station on device

[tulip sparrow]

That's because you need to change it

wlan0 is your device as it shows with the device list command

So to scan for networks station device scan would become station wlan0 scan

[ionic otter]

Ok

[ionic otter]

See I want to connect to one plus network it is showing invalid network name but its correct

[tulip sparrow]

If the name contains spaces you have to wrap it in quotes "

[ionic otter]

so it would be "OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G

"

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah

[ionic otter]

I have some questions

So when I typed timedatectl it shows correct date but wrong time

17:29:30

And other that after check date and time I am not able to understand what to do in next step

[ionic otter]

Can u help

[tulip sparrow]

I don't mean to sound rude or harsh but I think a distribution like peppermint or lubuntu (if it ever will boot) might be best suited for you since they are more user friendly than Arch for beginners

Or maybe a 32bit version of q4os

[ionic otter]

I am downloading arch with arch install command but facing one issue

When New entering boot password and i enter it doesn't work

But my enter is ok

[ionic otter]

I have to install arch only bcz in this laptop date and time was wrong that's why I am installing new os and bcz of wrong date and time it is not able to access network

And like I said my other laptop with bodhi has some problem I have to reinstall bodhi iso

but I don't have any other laptop

So I have to boot arch

[ionic otter]

Please tell

[tulip sparrow]

Hmm okay, well setting time with the timedatectl command isn't hard though! You can do something like this: timedatectl set-time 14:30:05 Where time is just hours -> minutes -> seconds

[ionic otter]

Ok i will do this but can I install from archininstall command

I see many people doing with this

And i try also but stuck in at a point

[ionic otter]

.

[ionic otter]

.

[tulip sparrow]

I have no knowledge of the archinstall script because I have never used it

[ionic otter]

Ok

[ionic otter]

When I was installing from "archlinux" It shows proceed to installation i didn't press anything and in next line it shows retrieving packages then it was doing something then after it shows this error

What is this

[tulip sparrow]

Its related to the archinstall script which I know nothing about 😅
