dc7700 ALT TAB alternates between - Try and Install Lubuntu - lubuntu-installer-prompt
Default is lubuntu-installer-prompt on boot, which is showing only the background with no actual prompt for user to respond to. ** Description changed: Lubuntu stonking (26.10) has done this awhile on this box now, I suspect it maybe a hardware quirk?? related to the graphics card in this box maybe; but I don't know, so documenting here -- preamble & expected insert thumb-drive with Lubuntu stonking; boot & I expect to get to TRY/install dialog where I can select which I want to do... -- actual result i get blueish wallpapers on both monitors on this box; and it just sits there... for what feels like forever (have only waited an ~hour, though <10 mins wait on this box with current daily/ISO) The TRY/INSTALL dialog is NOT appearing -- workaround A simple Alt + TAB will make it show (or alternate between two background-blueish screens & the try-install dialog..) Maybe release notes should mention if your box sits on blue backgrounds awhile, try hitting ALT+TAB to view the try/install dialog; we have experienced some hardware that requires this. NOTE: I've made assumption it's box specific; graphics card, or maybe just monitors connected; as I don't believe I experience this on all boxes. Experiencing it here today on dc7700 or old hp compaq thing. + -- more details (ALT+TAB cycles between) + + dc7700 ALT TAB alternates between + - Try and Install Lubuntu + - lubuntu-installer-prompt + + Default is lubuntu-installer-prompt on boot, which is showing only the + background with no actual prompt for user to respond to. + + On other boxes however, there is no `lubuntu-installer-prompt` viewable + if you hit ALT+TAB at the same graphic prompt; so something on the + dc7700 is maybe causing lubuntu-installer-prompt to fail to exit?? or + something.. + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 26.10 Package: lubuntu-installer-prompt 25.04.4build1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 7.2.0-5.5-generic 7.2.0 Uname: Linux 7.2.0-5-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.36.0-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CasperVersion: 26.10.2 CloudArchitecture: x86_64 CloudID: nocloud CloudName: unknown CloudPlatform: nocloud CloudSubPlatform: seed-dir (/var/lib/cloud/seed/nocloud) CurrentDesktop: LXQt Date: Thu Sep 17 05:07:34 2026 LiveMediaBuild: Lubuntu 26.10 "Stonking Stingray" - Daily amd64 (20260916) SourcePackage: lubuntu-installer-prompt UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2167541 Title: lubuntu stonking sometimes shows wallpapers without try-install dialog To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-installer-prompt/+bug/2167541/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
