View Full Version : Ubuntu 16.04 desktop freezes during installation

I have n older HP DV8100 series laptop that has been used with previous versions of Ubuntu 64 bit (14.04, 13) and those installations have worked well.

However the installation of 16.04 freezes during the installation. At first I thought it was occurring only during the final hardware configuration part of the installation but it has happened earlier during the file copy section.

I know the cause could be related to many things, though I am certain that 64 bit 16.04 can run on this laptop (AMD ML-40 processor, 2GB ram, 240GB SSD in adapter tray). About the SSD, it functioned perfectly under Windows XP. Its new and was tested several times. Ubuntu should be able to install properly on an SSD. The drive shows up accurately in the BIOS boot selector. I tried disconnecting every external piece of hardware (USB express card, cardbus, etc). The install does start with a message about the synaptic touch pad not having a driver (or something similar) so I'm using a mouse which it recognized perfectly. Running the live DVD shows that the machine can handle the load, as the graphics are fairly smooth.

About the DVD, I have burned a second one (the first was 16.04 beta). though I know its possible the 2nd one could be bad.. The Md5sum was correct and the DVD was checked with the installer menu choice for analyzing the DVD contents. It also checked out.

The laptop is old and I wonder if the motherboard may have bad caps or some other low level problem, though the old Windows HDD never freezes. I wonder also if the DVD RW in the machine could be tired out during install. This machine can't boot from a USB DVD RW and if it did I would be using it, since the internal DVD RW is a replacement for the original which was failing, and now the replacement is old too. Maybe it has some intermittent problem and can't carry the install to completion. I have an external USB DVD RW abd would use it if I could.

So this is my problem. I installed 16.04 on a new machine and its great. This old laptop still has life in it (XP works perfectly) so I want to put it to use. Its almost there and handles Ubuntu well. It just needs to get over this one hurdle.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

There is probably nothing "wrong" with your HW except that you are trying to install too much of a resource hog onto it. Ubuntu proper takes a lot of resources, especially graphics, and your old laptop probably can't handle it. I would recommend installing Lubuntu, Xubuntu or Ubuntu-Mate. All three are less resource-heavy and should run on your machine. Try them out as LiveDVD/USB first and if they run, you should be good to go.

Hi,

How much ram do you have?

It seems it comes with 256-MB DDR1 synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) at 333 MHz, expandable to 2.0 GB.

Do you have all the specs for this computer?

If so, can you post them.

Thanks

"Try Ubuntu" works great. I was running it earlier with every program on the menu bar (8 Firefox tabs, all 3 Libre Office programs, the software center open, multiple folders open, the settings window open, etc.) all at once with no issues. The system was still responsive despite the relative sluggishness of the DVD RW. Windows were dragged with no lag or visible redraw time. Every feature was available and working well. In fact I would say that 16.04 is by far the fastest Ubuntu of the last 3 or 4 years - on this machine at least.

Clearly the problem is not with the specs of the machine, but some hangup or glitch due to a minor conflict. Hopefully its not hardware-based, though it would not seem to be as the DVD RW did not cause any problems working with the live DVD.

No problem. As I mentioned in the original post, this machine has the maximum 2GB of RAM. The processor is an AMD Turion ML-40. It has an ATI Radeon Xpress Zoom graphics system with a maximum of 256MB memory. It can be run with as low as 128GB graphics memory. Also as mentioned in the original post, it has a 250GB SSD mounted in an mSATA to 44-pin ATA IDE adapter. That combination works well in Windows XP despite not having TRIM or other SSD utilities.

I don't have all the specs at the moment and HP has moved (retired as they say) most info on 10+ year old products. However if you have any questions about specific specs please ask. I never had an issue with any of the last 3 Ubuntu versions running on this machine.

This machine does have WIFI, DVD RW, a touch pad, USB 2 and 1 ports, VGA out and most of the usual stuff 10 year old laptops had and new ones continue to have. I find it to be a very stable machine and have run a number of non-Linux and non-Windows operating systems on it. Again, let me know about any other specs you might need information about.

Hi,

With the ATI Radeon Xpress Zoom graphics you may need to run with 14.04 Lubuntu or Xubuntu. Not sure if the graphics card will work with 16.04 Lubuntu, Xubuntu or Ubuntu-Mate.

You can always try to run from a live USB/DVD

It is a small point but I think it is relevant. If not to this particular problem but to the situation during the first restart after installation has finished. Do not tick the box Install third party software. That will set up a proprietary video driver. Each new version of Ubuntu comes with newer proprietary video drivers. And the proprietors of the drivers often drop support for what they consider to be obsolete video adapters. My video adapter is obsolete by Nvidia standards & is not supported by the latest proprietary video drivers in 16.04.

Another thing, make sure the DVD disc is clean & free from scratches & finger grease. You are at the point where wild guesses might be the solution. Most likely not but you never know.

There are three ways we can start a Ubuntu install session. It should not matter which way we choose but in the past I have found that on occasion it did make a difference. The three ways.

1) Allow the live session to load to a GUI Try/Install dialog. Select Install.
2) Allow the live session to load to a GUI Try/Install dialog. Select Try Ubuntu and then select Install Ubuntu from the icon on the live session desktop.
3) At the first purple screen with the icons of a human and a key board press enter. Then select an install language (default English ) and press enter. At the underlying screen with a text type menu select Install Ubuntu.

Regards & good luck.

Thank you for the suggestions. The first two jogged my memory and I recall burning and cleaning a bunch of discs before getting a good install. That may also have been when I replaced the internal DVD RW. These are the kinds of minor issues that are behind many problems that appear to be difficult to solve.

About the video driver, I can recall this happening before with 13 or 14 on another older desktop. About support, they have been dropping a lot of support for "older" hardware in the past few years. I think someone advised me to do the same with those previous installations that were difficult: deselect the 3rd party support box.

I haven't yet found an old machine (back to the SATA I days) that couldn't handle Ubuntu.

I did try the live DVD and it worked very well. Graphics performance was more than adequate.

I had a lot more problems trying to get 14.04 to run correctly on this machine and when it finally did work it was not as responsive as 16.04. Apparently they have cleaned and streamlined the installation and some of its components.

I'm going to try skipping 3rd party drivers and see what happens. People with much better graphics systems have had far more difficulty than I with this "old" hardware.

Thank you.

So far no luck with the above. I don't think the video driver is an issue since the live session works so well.

Is there any way of generating an installation log file?

I'm going to look at the SSD in windows and see what was installed. I noticed that rebooting the install SSD got the number lock and caps lock lights to be functional so I think the install progressed almost to completion.

Mine is a little different. It has an ML-40 and 2gb ram.

i was able to run the msata 250gb drive as a secondary drive under win xp 32 and its working very well.

the 250gb drive is in a msata to pata 44 pin ide tray and shows up perfectly in the bios, win xp and ubuntu, though i wonder if the extra circuitry might be inducing some kind of problem. there are pins on this adapter for selecting master/slave settings, but none are marked, which i assume might mean that those settings might depend on the drive.

here is the adapter i'm using:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/MSATA-mini-PCI-E-SATA-SSD-to-2-5-IDE-44-Pin-Adapter-Converter-Card-Portable-Kit-/331812974224?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368

as i understand it, more recent ubuntu versions are programmed to perform trim and proper formatting for SSDs. windows xp doesn't have these functions and i didn't bother with finding utilities to attend to those functions, but the drive is extremely fast with no issues nevertheless.

the bios sees the msata drive in its container perfectly, howsomever, there is always the possibility of a technical hangup with this arrangement.

any input is greatly appreciated.

the live session works very well - so well in fact i could just keep using it if i didn't need to customize things so much.

what doesn't work well, apparently, is power management. i found that the system freezes after the screen blanks for power saving (or maybe just for screen saver). it can't come out out of the lower power state for some reason. its either connected to video or power management.

i'm sure i'll track this down after some experimenting though any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. i had problems like this with other older machines that took a little extra effort but they've been running for years once those problems were corrected.

i turned off screen lock, but forgot to turn off screen dim. it was the screen dimming that froze the system. maybe this points to a video driver issue. i don't think the problem is the 3rd party driver. i think its the built-in driver that causes the problem since that driver is not installed until later in the installation. since the system can freeze during a live session without the 3rd party driver, it may be that the 3rd party driver can properly communicate with ubuntu whereas the built-in driver might be too generalized.

again, any suggestions greatly appreciated.

after turning off screen dim system continues without freeze.

have been getting very close to a full install, but haven't been able to get past hardware configuration at about 85% completion (according to the orange progress bar).

whatever it is that is freezing the system takes place there and must be the cause. is there any log file that can be accessed after the fact?

16.04 is very responsive when running as a live session and functions well as a general purpose machine so i am sure it will work as a full install.

any wild guesses or specific suggestions will be greatly appreciated. i noticed the high view count for this thread. please jump in and write something even if it seems unlikely to help. thanks.

:shock:

skanger, I had unsubscribed from this thread some days ago and only just came across it again. During this time, you have continued to patiently bang your head against this particular wall. ](*,) Such perseverance surely deserves a response...

You've tried a lot of tricks on this old thing, but I believe that, throughout, you've been trying to install to an SSD hooked up by an adapter. I would suggest that you nix the adapter. Swap your XP HDD with the SSD and install directly through the motherboard's SATA port. See if that works.

Ubuntu keeps its installation logs in /var/log/installer/. However, they can be massive. You'll have to use grep to whittle them down to size. Use the form:
egrep -i 'warning|error|fatal' /var/log/installer/name_of_log...should save you some dreary scrolling.

i have an extremely hard head and enjoy some good head banging.

about the system in question, its a laptop with no sata ports. it has two 44 pin pata ide channels and that's it, so its either the adapter with msata ssd or 2.5" hdd. right now all of hdds are tied up in file recovery so i have none to spare to test with this installation. besides, i expect to put the ssd to good use on this machine. its 250gb. apparently this laptop was of the last bunch before they started making them with sata ports, though its recognized and been used with all types of ssds (with pata or usb adapters)..

can you suggest any particular logs to start with? i will put the ssd and its adapter in an external usb case and do the search on a properly working 16.04 machine (another piece of vintage hardware).

what do you think about this:
5.4.4.1. System Freeze During the PCMCIA Configuration Phase Some very old laptop models produced by Dell are known to crash when PCMCIA device detection tries to access some hardware addresses. Other laptops may display similar problems. If you experience such a problem and you don't need PCMCIA support during the installation, you can disable PCMCIA using the hw-detect/start_pcmcia=false boot parameter. You can then configure PCMCIA after the installation is completed and exclude the resource range causing the problems.
Alternatively, you can boot the installer in expert mode. You will then be asked to enter the resource range options your hardware needs. For example, if you have one of the Dell laptops mentioned above, you should enter exclude port 0x800-0x8ff here. There is also a list of some common resource range options in the System resource settings section of the PCMCIA HOWTO (http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp/doc/PCMCIA-HOWTO-1.html#ss1.12). Note that you have to omit the commas, if any, when you enter this value in the installer.

makes a lot of sense to me and i'll try it. 16.04 is working so well on this machine that i'm convinced the problem is some minor hangup like this. with my rock hard head i expect to use this laptop as my main travel machine. wine runs almost all of the windows crap i use so i will be set for another ten years with this thing.

Since you are treating this as an intellectual exercise and an educational challenge that is rewarding in its own right, then by all means, try each fix you can. Just be sure to back out your previous fix before applying the next one. That way, you can track what is working and what is not. You might also find the Old HW link in my signature useful.

I'm frankly surprised that you are happy with the performance of Ubuntu proper on a laptop so old that it doesn't even have SATA. I've got a few of those that run Lubuntu acceptably, but that's about all the OS that those baby's can handle.

Keep swinging for the fences. We're all cheering for you from here in the peanut gallery. ;)

FWIW, since you can boot into a Live session, please do the following and post back to this thread:
sudo lshw -numeric -sanitize
lspci -vvnn
lsusb -vThe above will generate significant output, so please wrap in *CODE* brackets before posting.

It occurred to me only now that I didn't answer your question re: logs. It doesn't hurt to go through them all, but especially syslog and debug. Note, the installer syslog is different from your everyday one. Hopefully, the installation progresses far enough that logs are generated. The last entries would likely be the important ones anyway.

skanger, even for you, surely there is a point of diminishing return.

I don't know if you've gone through your logs, but your output above confirms your observation that your machine should work with Xenial. Moreover, since it runs a LiveDVD, you know that it actually does. So here are my suggestions:


You may have more luck with Lubuntu or Xubuntu 16.04. At least try installing them to see if they work. You may even like them enough to keep one of them instead of Ubuntu.
Since it does install Trusty (14.04) and has run it in the past, do that install instead. Then, network upgrade from LTS to LTS. However, before doing so, install ssh-server so you can ssh into a black screen if such should occur. This is a way of working around your balky 16.04 install by leveraging an old 14.04 install first.
A variation of the above strategy is to install Ubuntu Server 16.04 (with ssh). This only installs a command line environment which should be simpler and cleaner. Then, should it install without problem, pull in Ubuntu desktop by simply doing:
sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop
Install Lubuntu or Xubuntu 14.04. Frankly, your equipment calls for such lighter installs anyway, and you will have far better responsiveness with these than you did with Ubuntu 14.04. My old laptops that I use for travel purposes (just like you intend for this laptop) all have Xubuntu/Lubuntu; not Ubuntu.

A final note: I usually unsubscribe from threads that haven't seen OP responses in three days. If you will be taking some days to respond, I may no longer by looking at this thread, in which case, I trust that others will jump in to help.

Good luck and, hopefully, Happy Ubuntuing!

Thank you for your suggestions. The delay getting back to you couldn't be helped but I will try to respond in a more timely manner. About diminishing returns, its long past that point and has now entered a new phase: the point of unknown returns. With so much time and effort expended, something unknown and unexpected is bound to happen.

About the logs, I hoped to put the msata SSD (in PATA adapter) in a PATA to USB/firewire carrier on this 16.04 machine to edit and post them here, but the carrier isn't seeing the SSD. I'll have to do that in WIndows instead.

I tried to install using the following boot parameter:


Some very old laptop models produced by Dell are known to crash when PCMCIA device detection tries to access some hardware addresses. Other laptops may display similar problems. If you experience such a problem and you don't need PCMCIA support during the installation, you can disable PCMCIA using the hw-detect/start_pcmcia=false boot parameter. You can then configure PCMCIA after the installation is completed and exclude the resource range causing the problems.

The install ran as usual, right into hardware detection where it froze. I'm not sure if I inserted the boot parameter correctly. While booting from DVD, I pressed enter, selected English and the DVD menu appeared as usual. Selecting F6 brought up the list of boot modifiers. What I did was insert the above boot parameter for disabling PCMCIA after the boot parameters already present. There were three hyphens --- following the default boot parameters. I left them in place and typed in the PCMCIA disabling parameter. Pressing enter to begin the installation, I waited to see if any mention was made of PCMCIA being disabled but did not see any lines mentioning that. Therefore I wonder if I didn't do the insert according to proper syntax.

Hi,

With the ATI Radeon Xpress Zoom graphics you may need to run with 14.04 Lubuntu or Xubuntu. Not sure if the graphics card will work with 16.04 Lubuntu, Xubuntu or Ubuntu-Mate.

You can always try to run from a live USB/DVD

if the live USB/DVD works, then there is some driver combination/configuration that can do it. we want to get an installed system there.
