[DLX]

I never got round to fixing this was down to old hardware. I just pulled the UBS KVM out till I got boot screen with bar at bottom of page when bar was half way plug USB back in.

Using different computer now, still 14 years old

Hi Dyslexic1,
I've had issues in the past with a KVM switch on Windows equipment. I'll look to see if those issues apply to this problem. Please post the make and model of the KVM switch you're using.  Thanks.

I got a work round in the end I got another old computer D530 HP.
It see the KVM but I can't get sound to work I got a list of bit I got to look at and try before asking.

Had Linux lit on this comuper for a bit of time now don't know how long but seems to be getting slow. If it was a Win box then I know what to do defrag but I did rad there not such thing with Linux.


Thanks

dayooper,

Is this immediately after a new install?  Or is this a problem that just popped up along the way after working fine for a while?

Are you using a KVM switch like the original poster of this thread?

Do you have any other operating systems on the computer, or is LL the only one?  If you do have another, can you still boot into it?

If you can, boot into installed LL on hard drive.  If not, boot with live CD/USB.  Either way, open a terminal and enter following commands:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install inxi
inxi -Fxz
sudo parted -l
(Last command ends in a lowercase letter "L", not a number 1.)

Copy entire output from last two commands.  Hit the "Insert Code" button on the forum reply interface (top right, 3rd button in), then paste the output within the code box that appears.

I'm having the same problem with the blue screen appearing when I boot up. I selected the top option and it goes to a black screen with blinking cursor. Have you come up with a solution?

Dyslexic1, it's possible no one has encountered this before, therefore noone knows the steps to remedy it. Leave your post here, a knight in shining armour may trot along.

Edit: I thought Linux user know everything Valtam 
I seen other have same problem on other site find from Google but not how to fix.


 Thanks

Keep getting above error trying to post 

I looked about found other with same problem not found a solution for this. I'm not pretending to know what I'm doing with Linux. On boot computer hangs I get blue screen with text I pick top one then I get a black screen with a flashing cursors.

This keeps happening each time I boot was hoping on update would fix this.
How I get round this Boot get blue screen with text I pick top one then pull USB cable out back of computer then I get next screen image grey with feather and back bar loading at bottom once bar bar is starting to load I pug USB back in.

One booted in the keyboard works fine through the KVM, I have had a look at BIOS the boot order see about putting it 1st in list.

I also looked at keyboard setting can't see anything there.

I will look at Gold finger post about pressing left shift Link removed

pci  noacpi to the kernel boot parameters allowed me to boot without disconnecting the usb kvm.

Someone post this but I don't have a clue if it fixes problem or how.

Thanks
