Re: MX-21 installation freezes after initial set-up

#31 Post by Yoshio »

Okay, I'm back.

First of, I did try MX-21.1_x64, MX-21.1_ahs_x64 and Mx-21.1_KDE-x64. All three with the same result that after doing the initial set-up for booting into the live environment, meaning language settings, all of the froze on the next screen which I would call the "boot progress screen" with keyboard and mouse disabled. So the only option to get out of this had been a could start to reboot the machine.
Till then (and off-topic) Why did you use these? Your card is Nvidia.

radeon.si_support=0 radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1 amdgpu.cik_support=1
For this I would like to be able to say that I didn't install them but as they are on the system, they might have been installed somewhat automatically as I didn't install them consciously. As You said, it doesn't make sense as my PC has a nvidia card.
Is it therefore correct to assume that I can savely uninstall the "xorg-driver-video-radeon" and "xorg-driver-video-amdgpu" package?

Now for the requested stuff, if I understood it correctly and this will be somewhat longish and without particular order!

All those information had been take directly out of the individual live environments. I hope this helps to shed some light on this topic.

Re: MX-21 installation freezes after initial set-up

#32 Post by razor2021 »

Update your BIOS to the latest and see if issue is still there -> Your motherboard has a newer BIOS -- Version 2604 dated 2022/03/07
Mixed of desktops and laptops, I have a Gravis Ultrasound Classic card (unfortunately its ISA-slot based) ... - I must be a dino. :popcorn:
Running on my DesktopPC - MX-23.4 AHS with latest Kernel: 6.12.17-1-liquorix-amd64

Re: MX-21 installation freezes after initial set-up

#33 Post by Huckleberry Finn »

So, since it boots fine (like Debian does with the same kernel and though most of these are live-sessions, too): it's something with the installer. You can start the installer (purposely) from terminal with:

Code: Select all

minstall-launcher
and maybe take screenshots (photo) where it freezes . (If it was not freezing completely you could also post /var/log/minstall.log )

I wonder what happens (just to test and if you like only, just out of curiosity) if you first install Calamares from MXPI then start it and try to install with that ( :biggrin: )

Doesn't top show what process IDs might be hogging up the system?

Re: MX-21 installation freezes after initial set-up

Can be installed MX21 in systemd mode? Maybe there is something which the installer prefers! A thought.

Per post #7 in this thread from the Republic of Gamers forums:

https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.p ... it-enabled

CSM needs to be disabled for a UEFI install.

After finding this I reread the entire thread and you never mention whether you set an Administrator's password. Did you? On most modern motherboards, setting an Administrator's password is necessary to gain access to the advanced options like the ability to disable Secure Boot.

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

Many thanks for the many replies. I will do me best to answer them one by one.

@razor2021 - Thanks for letting me know that there is a bios up-date available. I already did one, so that shouldn't be too big of a deal to do another one. Just have to remember the single steps.
As for your second question, unfortunately not as I get stuck at the screen which "directly" shows up after the screen at which one can set language and choose between:
  • MX-21 x64
  • Virtual Box Video
  • Boot from Hard Disk
  • Memory Test
  • Switch to Grub Bootloader
This loading screen says something like:
(Welcome to) MX-Linux
. . . . . . . .
And at the bottom something about a key combination to display something but as at that point the keyboard and mouse are already deactivated there is nothing I can do except a cold or hard start.

@j2mcgreg - No, I never set a Administrator password for my motherboard but I still can enter the advanced settings and for disabling CSM I followed the instructions which I got here in this thread. These instruction actually made it at all possible to install a Linux distro. Before finding and understanding those instruction I haven't been able to boot into any of the live environments.

@Huckleberry Finn - I will have to reread your post tomorrow morning as it is already a bit late tonight. After doing so and giving it a try I will report back here about my progress.

I think that you should at least try setting an administrator's password to see if you can then disable CSM and Secure Boot. Secure Boot has to be disabled in order to boot MX. You can always clear the administrator's password later if you wish.

Yep, it says you can press Alt + F1 to see the flowing text (boot process). So, you can change the boot parameters beforehand: Remove the splasht also change splash to nosplash : Shortly, press E on Grub and do it like ro quiet nosplash and hit F10 to go on boot. (Then take a photo.). (Probably it gets stuck at: "waiting for /dev to be fully populated" )
