You mentioned that you installed a 32-bit version. Since you are going to reinstall, maybe test a 64-bit version if possible?
In the meantime, I wish you the best for your exams.

Thank you.
But the laptop has a 32-bit processor (Intel T2400 @ 1.83ghz).

Hello @Madhur Sharma, have you progressed? Sorry, couldn't reply had some exams. Tried to install some other distro and I've wiped the disk. Installation wasn't successful. I'll try once again with Debian this time but not anytime soon as I've more exams in upcoming months so I won't be able to tin...

You can try setting the pcie_aspm=off kernel parameter in GRUB. Use the temporary method first. Doesn't work, booting is still a luck by chance. If the error "aspm could not...." is displayed, I'm able to boot. But, most of the time this error is not displayed so I've to hard shut down. A...

kernel parameter in GRUB. Use the temporary method first.

Doing this will remove the error message "aspm could not...."?

Perhaps run to check the driver and the module:

Code: Select all

lspci -nnkd ::300

Then, you can check if the latest firmware for that card is installed.

Is there any solution to"aspm" problem?

I did a clean install of Debian 12 (32-bit) without any DE. I've noticed that after grub menu, if it displays " pci (some numbers) ASPM Could not configure common clock", the system boots into cli properly. But, if no such error is shown, a white underscore keeps blinking on the top left. ...

I've removed xfce4 completely. Now when I boot, I put "3" at the end of the line starting with "Linux" in grub. Now I've observed that if it displays aspm could not configure common clock, then it boots into tty1. And, if it does not display the above error, a white underscore ke...

Using nomodeset I'm able to boot into cli. Do that again. If you can get back to the login screen and to the desktop you'll need to permanently modify grub. # nano /etc/default/grub Change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset...

Fun. After the first reboot you had the LightDM greeter/login screen and were able to login, but no it hangs? As you can see in my signature, I am just an experienced newbie. I would guess that one of the services that starts on boot is hanging, maybe the network manager? Do you have a strong need ...

@Madhur Sharma yes, that will be a little more minimal than my suggestion. Are you planning on using LightDM or starting from the terminal? Ok, I've done that, everything was running fine after first reboot. All the graphics, resolution were correct, but now, after reboot I can only see an undersco...

Can I do sudo apt install xfce4 xfce4-goodies?

I used the netinstall iso of Debian 12 (32-bit) and on the menu "select and install software" I did not select any desktop environment and only selected standard system utilities. Everything installed fine and without any error, but after reboot, I'm greeted by an underscore blinking in th...

I have installed the packages listed in

I have also added non free and contrib

Hallvor wrote: ↑2024-01-12 10:03 That is normal. Nomodeset like I showed you is temporary to allow you to install the driver. Do it again if you didn't get the GPU install right.

You can also set nomodeset permanently if you must.

I'm using nomodeset always while booting but not able to use startx now. Tty runs fine.

Hallvor wrote: ↑2024-01-08 11:13 Try to boot with nomodeset. See point 3.5 here: viewtopic.php?t=155919

Using nomodeset, I was only able to boot into Debian once (and with light dm) and everything was displayed perfectly but now, startx is also not working. It displays the same error as before.
