Hi Alberto and Ali,
Hi everyone,
My mistake, I must have read only the text in the mail and from that
concluded that the computer booted and even logged in and out. Maybe I
confused it with the dialogue in another thread.
But --forcepae in the picture is not correct. It should be -- forcepae
"{space}--{space}forcepae" at the end of that line.
That picture was when I tried to boot Xubuntu 14.04 from a LiveUSB and
yes, I have not added "space" between "--" and "forcepae" so that was
possibly the reason why I got that error on the taken picture that
Alberto included which I attached to the bug report :)
I hope it helps you Ali :-)
My main issue is not booting the system. That is a minor issue and it is
solved.
The main problem here is that the machine is not usable. Almost most if
not all is lagging after logging to the desktop.
Best regards
Nio
Okay, this machine is playing hide and seek with me.
Xubuntu 12.04 (Kernel: 3.2.0-69) is working now without any problem.
Yesterday, I was trying to install "xubuntu-restricted-extras" and it
never worked neither from Terminal, nor Synaptic nor Ubuntu Software
Center. The machine was frozen when I tried and it did not even let me
finish the command "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras" ...
Now, it seems fine.
I have rebooted many times yesterday with no luck.
It seems better today.
No idea what is going on with that machine ...
Maybe it is the load on the CPU because with such weak machine, it is
very easy to see the CPU usage at 100% and very easy to produce that.
Thanks!
Hi again,
Hello again,
It could also be a hardware error, anything from a bad (electric)
connection to bad ram or a failing component on the motherboard or a
failing power supply unit (giving low voltage, near the limit).
You are right. It has 1023 bad sectors and it says: "Disk Failure is
Imminent" so I will tell the owner of the machine. He knows his machine
is very old and he just wanted to try GNU/Linux on it before installing
it on any other newer machine of his.
Best regards
Nio
Thank you for everything, both of you :)
I think so far so good .. hope I won't face any problem again :)
No, I don't think he is interested to replace his HDD and therefore, I
will ask him not to complain in case his machine will be frozen again ;)
