I put Linux on a laptop, when during installation you choose to try Linux (ubuntu) without installation, then everything works fine. As soon as it is installed, the reset button appears, I click and Linux stops dead. I turn off the button, run, get on the login screen. I enter the password and everything, the desktop caught fire, but the shortcuts did not appear and everything hangs, even the cursor.

Worth intel i7, nvidia 1050ti, ram 16gb, install on hdd in mbr format tried to install ubuntu, kubuntu, mint, elementary, deepin, manjaro, in uefi and legacy

I read different articles, tried to enter something into the terminals, but nothing helped. Already 2 weeks in the evening trying to install. The same Windows installs and works fine. Help me please.

    Why do you need Linux on such a powerful computer? Put the top ten - Artur Han

  • After the hangup, try pressing the combination of three keys: Ctrl / Alt / F1. Theoretically, the console login window should pop up. If it appears, go ahead, enter the top command and see who eats the processor. Kill him and return to the GUI by pressing Alt / F7 (Or maybe I already forgot. - Ctrl / F7) - Sergey
  • Once you have already worked the login, then the network card has already risen. Try to go to this ill-fated SSH laptop and, again, the top command is to kill the reptile. - Sergey
  • In general, since the system cannot even reboot normally, then most likely, the problem is that when installing linuha you did something wrong with the distribution of disk partitions. It seems that some partition cannot be unmounted / mounted. How did you distribute the sections - manually? Or entrusted this business to the installer? After a hard reset, the grub menu appears? After all, you have two operating systems on the laptop - right? And when the login window appears - is there a user that you created during the installation? - Sergey

There was a similar problem in RHEL 7.6 with gdm 3.28 after logging in to X It looks like it's a gdm glitch.

  1. Open the second console: Ctrl + Alt + F2

  2. Run htop , find the X process and send it a SIGTERM .

    • F4 type gdm - to find the X process
    • F9 => SIGTERM

  3. X Window restart, and at the second attempt gdm will work fine.

  4. Optional : you can add these lines to the /etc/gdm/custom.conf file for automatic authorization under the specified user:

     AutomaticLogin=username AutomaticLoginEnable=True
