Could Not Allocate Memory
different USB drives, 3 separate downloads of Ubuntu (2 of 16.04 and 1 of 14.04), and 3 different USB creators, I always get error messages when I try to boot from the drives like this: Loading Bootlogo bootlogo: invalid file format Error setting up gfxboot boot: And this: Error Screen I tried a solution from another question that said to type 'help' at the boot prompt and then press enter, and this either gives me the message "uncompression error --system halted" or "could not allocate memory" and I have to hold the power button to switch the laptop off. I am able to get into the root shell by holding down shift during boot up and entering the GRUB options, but I have no idea what to try. At this point I just want the laptop to work, I don't care about losing all my data. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks. UPDATE: I've successfully managed to install Ubuntu 16.04 - I think changing the boot order in the BIOS rather than just trying to temporary boot from the USB is what did it. usb 16.04 share|improve this question edited May 8 at 16:49 asked May 8 at 10:04 cltweedie 13 add a comment| active oldest votes Know someone who can answer?

I downloaded Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook and loaded on a SanDisk 4 Gb flash drive using the latest USB Universal installer. When I booted from the USB I get the following message. graphics initialization failed Error setting up gfxboot boot: I get this error with both the Netbook and Desktop editions. I check the USB on another system and it worked fine. Here are the specs for my computer: http://laptops-specs.blogspot.com/20...b255-n250.html If I were to hazard a guess as to the reason I would say that the graphics card I have is not yet supported.

For example Fedora 23 boots fine however. Downstream bug http://pad.lv/1530530 The openSUSE Project member wfeldt commented May 12, 2016 So, as I understand it, a solution would be to keep the active error setting up video mode if it's a graphics mode? tjyrinki commented May 12, 2016 That sounds correct, even though I'm not an expert on these matters. The openSUSE Project member wfeldt commented May 13, 2016 Ok, I've no chromebook, though. Could you test a fix? tjyrinki commented May 13, 2016 Sure. The openSUSE Project member wfeldt commented May 18, 2016 Ok, I've opened a bug here: https://bugzilla.suse.com/980570; this makes it easier for me to track this and provide test isos. You don't need an account to access the bug. Please try the test iso I attached there. Just 'dd' it to an unused usb stick. It will boot and list all available video modes. My suspicion is that things are actually fine but the Chromebook has just an unusual selection of video modes. In this case we'll get away by just adjusting the gfxboot config file. tjyrinki commented May 19, 2016 Moved discussion and attachments there. Sign up for free to join this conversation on GitHub.

Hello, There is a bug when you try to install Ubuntu (15.10 and 16.04) on some Chromebook in legacy bios mode (mine is a HP Chromebook 14). When you boot on the usb key you have this error : *graphics initialization failed* *Error setting up gfxboot* *boot:* On previous Ubuntu versions there was a workaround. You had to type "help" (after boot:) then hit "enter". That doesn't work anymore. Gallium OS which is based on Xubuntu 15.04 works and don't need a workaround. Maybe it's a good place to start. It will be great if it can be fixed for Ubuntu 16.04 ! https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1530530 Thanks ! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
