Title: Stuck on "Preparing ubuntu drivers..."
Post by: roebern on October 24, 2022, 02:22:54 PM

Hi all,

I'm trying to install Linux Lite on an old Think X131e, however in the installation process it seems to be stuck on "installing ubuntu-drivers..."

I have no way to tell if it is really stuck or actually making progress and just taking a really long time. Is there a way to escape the GUI and see some sort of log?

Thanks!

Hi! :)

Yes. Hit the TAB key instead of watching the progress. You'll see some messages that might help you track what is happening...

If you want a more detailed answer, you need to provide more info on your machine.

Is it this?

Laptop LENOVO ThinkPad X131e, Intel Core i3 3227U - 1,9GHz, RAM 6 GB DDR3,HDD 500GB ,11,6 inch .

If so, than the Intel Core i3 3227U is a 2 core 4 thread CPU and is equipped with Intel® HD Graphics 4000.
With those specs, I see nothing wrong in the installation process. It's a fairly good machine, even for this moment.
