I was working through the installation process for Lubuntu on my old Macbook from 2009 to 2010. I encountered an error showing a black screen with a white dash in the bottom left. Was this a hardware problem? It might suggest needing to replace the internal storage drive. Since I had installed Lubuntu before, the laptop was having issues with WLAN, which prompted me to reinstall it in an attempt to resolve the issue.

Try turning off quiet boot and check for any errors. Also, look for an alternative TTY option.

I successfully launched into the current OS, which is a good beginning. Thanks for the tip—previously couldn’t access the BIOS. I’ll continue from here.
