@jaija40, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding Busybox Shell Prompt!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Verify Boot Media Integrity:
- Make sure that the installation media (USB/CD) is not corrupted. You can test this by verifying the SHA256 checksum if it's available on the Ubuntu download page.
Check BIOS/UEFI Settings:
- Ensure that the laptop's BIOS/UEFI settings are configured correctly:
- Disable Secure Boot.
- Ensure the boot order prioritizes the bootable installation media.
- If available, set SATA mode to AHCI.
Reattempt Installation:
- Sometimes redoing the installation process can resolve errors after checking for any issues with the installation media.
Live Session Troubleshooting:
- Use the Ubuntu live session from the installation media to check for potential hardware or disk partition issues. You can do this by booting from the USB/CD without installing.
Check Disk Partition:
- Use tools like fdisk or gparted within the live session to ensure the partitions are correctly set. They should be formatted to ext4 or another Linux-compatible filesystem.
Use Boot Repair:
- In some cases, using Boot Repair can fix boot issues:
- Boot from an Ubuntu live session.
- Install Boot Repair:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install boot-repair - Run boot-repair from the terminal or locate it in system tools.
Hope this helps!
Take care, and have an amazing day!
