Hi, I have HP 2540p which doesnot have any CD ROM drive. I am not able to boot Ubuntu from USB. Version that I tried are 9.10, 10.04, 11.10, Linux Mint 12 DVD. Each have different problem but finaly they failed to boot.
Ubuntu 9.10: Booted successfully but freezes completely if I click anything in the desktop. Hard power reset is then only option. Ubuntu 10.04: On first boot the os booted but the Display was flickering badly. In the second boot the system stands on the ubuntu boot screen (with dots moving) and does not go any further. At the same display is flickering. Ubuntu 11.10: Booted on the first boot. In the second boot when the boot screen with moving dots appear there is one line saying that: Waiting for network configuration... A while later, the following displayed: Unattended-upgrade in progress during shutdown, sleeping for 5s After a long while, the screen becomes black and long list of error appears, and finally ubuntu provides a prompt like: ubuntu$ubuntu I have used Sandisk, Kingston, Transcend pen drives all with 8GB space. All failed. I used Universal USB Installer from pendrivelinux.com. I have checked the images with MD5, but the images were ok. These problem does not appear with HP 6910P. Sure that something to be tweaked in the OS for this particular laptop, but what? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585651 Title: [LUCID] Cannot install on eDP laptops such as HP Elitebook 2540p or 8440p To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/585651/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
