Start up in constant mode automatically
Start up in constant mode automatically
I've set up Linux on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS because of issues with Windows, even older versions like Windows 7. After a full update and adding pop theme extensions to mimic Windows, I faced some hard disk problems. An engineer checked my PC and said the HDD was okay but pointed out minor PSU issues, suggesting a replacement. To simplify things, I decided to replace everything. Since installation was a few days ago, I've noticed the initramfs appears during boot, prompting me to run fsck manually. Once completed, it boots normally but is now running slowly. Could a faulty PSU be contributing to these slowdowns as well?
It might occur without clear cause. This could indicate issues with the hard drive itself, the filesystem, or even a power disruption affecting the power supply unit.
No problem at all! I'm here to help. What can I assist you with?
It seems like you're dealing with a driver or partition issue on your Ubuntu laptop. If a USB drive with a swap partition is connected, the purple screen during reboot suggests a boot-related problem. Review the logs or enable verbose booting to identify what's causing the freeze.
The "stuck in boot" issue might also happen when the network isn't setting up correctly. I encountered this on another laptop unless an Ethernet cable was connected; it would wait for the interface to appear. If this occurs, try waiting 3-5 minutes and see if it boots normally.
I'll attempt it right after I arrive and let you hear about it.
