I filed this against 'lubuntu-installer-prompt' as it was the process that I killed to allow the system to become usable; but I wondered later (post-actual-install and on first boot) if the issue isn't `lubuntu- installer-prompt` but a graphics issue??
On screen I saw no problem when I filed this report; only blue wallpaper/background and a mouse-pointer PLUS key that both monitors were mirrored as mouse-pointer was on both & at the ~same position on each.. Anyway, on reboot the SDDM screen was a real mess; that I now see on a number of boxes (with almost same old radeon graphics cards).. Where I only type in my password its not a problem as I can type that in, press enter and SDDM logs me in, screen clears & the LXQt desktop is functional.. but I wondered if this issue could be impacting lubuntu- installer-prompt?? I saw no evidence of it being attempt to display?? so maybe this thought is just wrong. Of note, my monitors are different resolutions; one is 16:9 (1920x1080) the other 16:10 (i forget res. but lessx1050 or something) so the images aren't perfectly mirrored; but the resolutions are close enough that I should have been able to see something of window appear... ** Description changed: - Current Lubuntu stonking live booted on hp dc7700 for purposes of - wanting a clean install to do some testing of Wayland session(s) with - new install... + Current Lubuntu stonking live booted on hp dc7700 for purposes of wanting a clean install to do some testing of Wayland session(s) with new install... + - hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 8gb, amd/ati rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt) On booting box; I get the grub TRY/INSTALL type text screen; select TRY and machine appears to boot normally. A blue background (not solid color) appears on both displays with mouse pointer on both (ie. screens are obviously MIRRORed; not new as some kernels boot this card in mirror mode where others don't with a default Lubuntu ISO)... ** expected result I expect to be asked what to do, I wanted to run an install ** actual result System just sat there, mouse pointer would NOT move, with system appearing to be locked up.. This was booted a number of times and same result each time; different USB ports tried too. I could switch to text terminal and did my exploratory checks, eg. media check completed correctly (ie. found in journalctl is following) Aug 09 05:39:09 lubuntu casper-md5check[2114]: Check finished: no errors found. - ** Resolved via kill lubuntu-installer-prompt I opened (at text terminal) htop and killed lubuntu-installer-prompt and then a live session correctly starts... Possibly I'm not seeing that dialog? (thus the LONG HANG..) (I didn't wait as long this attempt as prior attempts; but its not first check) I've not experienced this before (stonking) and lack time to do more testing, but reporting a (potential) problem here with this report ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 26.10 Package: lubuntu-installer-prompt 25.04.4build1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 7.0.0-14.14-generic 7.0.0 Uname: Linux 7.0.0-14-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.35.0-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CasperVersion: 26.10.0 CloudArchitecture: x86_64 CloudID: nocloud CloudName: unknown CloudPlatform: nocloud CloudSubPlatform: seed-dir (/var/lib/cloud/seed/nocloud) CurrentDesktop: LXQt Date: Sun Aug 9 06:15:18 2026 LiveMediaBuild: Lubuntu 26.10 "Stonking Stingray" - Daily amd64 (20260808) SourcePackage: lubuntu-installer-prompt UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2163107 Title: lubuntu live session stopped at blue screen(s) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-installer-prompt/+bug/2163107/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
