I have never used Linux, so I am completely new to the subject. The attached images reveal the situation that is happening to me. ExplainingThe machine, as you can see in the image00, meets the minimum requirementsfor installation. So I downloaded the image "xubuntu-24.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso" Then created the DVD from the isoA real physical DVD? Gosh. Any particular reason?The 80Gb disk, after installing Windows, was divided, leaving more than 30Gb for installing Xubuntu. I prepared the machine to boot from DVD, and reboot it with the dvd inserted. The first screen appears, in which I chose to install Xununtu After a few seconds the image appears, which you can see in image01You can't send attachments to mailing lists. If you really need to share pix, then put them on a free image hosting site such as Imgur, and then share links.I thought, it's going to take a while, so I left the machine running, eventhough the dots on the screen were turning on and off. After 3 hours the situation was the same... strange... I turned off the machine, checked the DVD and restarted the process. After several attempts, a little disoriented, I pressed the "Esc" key and to my surprise the screen reflected in image02 appeared.Again, we don't know. Tell us in words if you can.I don't know what's going on and I would appreciate anyone's help if possible.As we don't know we can't. General advice: * Always share full specs of your machine in your post. * Check your system firmware is 100% current. If it is not, update it. * Maybe use a USB key if you have one? * Format the key with Ventoy for an easier experience.
Also, do a checksum if you did not torrent the disk. Corruption issues frequently occur with downloads of large files. Torrent verifies bits as they are downloaded (and a checksum with torrented files should also be done as good practice).
