I'm stuck at this screen! I tried many times and I always get stuck on this...
Desktop PC, 2.8Ghz CPU, 2GB ram, Radeon GPU, it's a pretty old computer though!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I can't install MX Linux 18
Re: I can't install MX Linux 18
How old? any idea about the name,brand? Can you boot with anything else? Might be a non-pae ISO is needed?
Gigabyte Z77M-D3H, Intel Xeon E3-1240 V2 (Quad core), 32GB RAM,
GeForce GTX 770, Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB, Seagate Barracuda 4TB

Does the same USB thingy works on a different computer? Maybe there's something wrong either with the downloaded ISO (did you check the checksum?) or with the device itself.
Re: I can't install MX Linux 18
Let's try to narrow down where the problem is. Use the boot option "bp=b8". This will get you to a bash shell before the script that populates /home/demo runs. Try to run that script manually with:
Code: Select all
/live/etc/init.d/live-init start
You can also use the boot parameter "v=8" which will cause much more information to be sent to the screen.

Its at least 10 years old, found it on my loft and thought i give it a new lease of live with MX but...
Unfortunately I cant boot nothing else on it, even Win 7, XP!

Faulty disk(?), bad sector, maybe, can you do a disk check from a running 'live' Linux(?).
