Hi there,
I migrated to new laptop ~10 days ago and since that time my nightmare doesnt stop. My system keeps crashing over and over. Every time it is the same. When I start the laptop, it tries to boot, purple Ubuntu screen flashes and gets black only showing
could not write bytes: broken pipe
I know that this issue is raised already few times and I went through many of them and nothing worked. I already reinstalled system 3-4 times and every time it gets to the same thing. Ubuntu runs fine for 1-3 days and it crashes in a way thet looks to me as the same.
Could you, PLEASE, help me to figure it out?
Hereunder I listed what you can find at the end of the post. Its just to make things more compact and then you can look for what you need at the end
my hardware
my OS (at the moment I run it al liveCD but thats the one installed and this is the CD I installed it from)
my partitions
I tried to update and upgrade while running live CD
Code:
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
sudo chroot /mnt
dpkg --configure -a
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
dpkg --configure -a
reboot after failed as well
While installing I had a problem wit Broadcom STA wireless driver so I hamered it in a bit
Code:
sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer b43-fwcutter
cat /etc/modprobe.d/* | egrep 'bcm'
cd /etc/modprobe.d/
sudo gedit blacklist.conf
And I put a # in front of the line: blacklist bcm43xx
So I thought It might be a problem with non propitiatory drivers so I tried this

nothing positive to report here

I tried 10-15 different things I could found online and non of them worked. I'm out of ides
Best, Srdjan
