Hi all,
I am trying to install Qubes 4.2.3 on laptop framework 13" AMD. Seems to work (I successfully completed the installation process) but after reboot I have something close to a bug : the startup process leads me to the disk encryption GUI then the screen is black before entering the encryption key and that’s it.
I cannot give you any details or stacktrace because I have none.
Thanks for your support
PS:
the BIOS was updated before to the latest release…
Just to be sure:
You did the first boot, formatted the drive(s) and copied the OS to the disk … but you have not done the “Initial setup” where you chose which templates to install and how sys-net
/sys-usb
/… should work
?
What happens, if you hit esc
?
Hi and thanks for thé answer
You are totally right
I finished thé first part of thé installation but did not have Access to the last step
Nice - then have you tried:
- Hit e to edit the GRUB menu
- locate the
quiet
and remove it. - hit
ctrl-x
to boot with the changed setting
Does that change anything?
Another test is to replace quiet
with nomodeset
.
What kind of graphics card do you have?
I had good luck with this laptop on 4.2.3, here’s my HCL post: Framework 13 with AMD Ryzen 7 7840U, R4.2.3
Your symptoms don’t match anything I saw exactly, but this is what I would look at:
- Was system clock set correctly in BIOS before doing install?
- Did you do the install with kernel-latest? It’s an option in boot menu
- Did you add
ioapic_ack=new
to get the touchpad fixed? - What WiFi card do you have? The MediaTek one sometimes would make sys-net take several minutes to start. Maybe wait longer? Get an Intel AX210 instead.
- Try to press escape. Sometimes that hides the splash screen and you can see what’s actually happening.
Hi all,
thanks Chris for your advices…
I followed them but I am still stuck the machine is unstable it keeps rebooting at any phase (during install process , during start of boot…)…I saw messages in the log complaining about PCI devices…
As you mentionned I guess that I don’t have the Intel Wifi card because getting the templates is extremely slow (20 or 30 minutes)!!
I spent 2 days struggling with the machine, I may wait until the 4.3 official release…
Thanks again for your support
