I’m trying to go back to Linux from windows after some viruses. I was able to download and use the live cd of Ubuntu with no problems (a few messages popped up, but I got no errors once up and running). I could also get through the installation with no problems. But when I try to use Ubuntu, I get “error: out of memory” and the errors listed below.

I get the similar errors when trying another distribution (KDE Neon) - in fact, this one didn’t even make it to the install screen.

I’ve tried with secure boot enabled and disabled, and tried multiple installations with different combinations related to secure boot that comes up during the install process.

Any idea what might be going on? I really need a working computer and I’d rather not go back to windows. I don’t need windows, so any way to get a working Linux system is fine for me. I can temporarily work from the live CE, but that’s not a long term solution.

Thank you so much.

  • I’m wondering if it’s related to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1842320/comments/125 – mikatao Dec 04 '22 at 20:10
  • You've not said what Ubuntu product you're trying to use, nor what release. You can get out-of-memory errors due to invalid ISO (did you verify it? was it written correctly? ie. did you perform the validation steps for your unstated products), as well as other reasons, but currently you've not provided any specific details as to what you were trying to boot. I see kernel 5.15 mentioned; but was it an ISO using the GA or HWE stack? we don't know as not given specific product/release details. – guiverc Dec 04 '22 at 22:52
  • Sorry, let me clarify.

    I’m using Kubuntu 22.04.1 LTS. I’ve verified the disk image, but I will try redownloading and burning to another usb just to make sure it’s not a hardware or burning issue. I think it’s the HWE stack (I haven’t made any changes from the default).

    I hope this helps a bit more.

  • all the ACPI errors are because your BIOS is reporting invalid data to our kernel. Those are benign and can be ignored if need be. You can get rid off then by disabling acpi but that also means no hibernation and no suspend. – Rinzwind Dec 08 '22 at 13:42
  • "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block" that is more serious and means the kernel was unable to mount the root filesystem. Get to GRUB advanced options and pick an older kernel; that should work. Happens if you format your system using an alternative filesystem (not ext4 (but there are a few others that do work)) but there are a lot of other reasons. see https://askubuntu.com/questions/41930/kernel-panic-not-syncing-vfs-unable-to-mount-root-fs-on-unknown-block0-0 for some methods. – Rinzwind Dec 08 '22 at 13:50
