Unable to install Xubuntu 16.04: "not a typewriter"
7,611
Well, looks like I finally fixed it. Instead of 16.04 iso I downloaded 14.04 and it worked. The live usb started perfectly and I installed xubuntu successfully.

I've been trying to install Xubuntu 16.04 i386 on a netbook with an Intel Atom N270 2GB Ram and 250 GB HDD using a USB stick. Currently I'm using ElementaryOS, which I installed without problems, but now I'm trying with Xubuntu and I get the following after getting the Xubuntu screen at the start:
stdin: not a typewriter Generating locales (this might take a while...) Generation complete pwconv: failed to change the mode of /etc/passwd- to 0600 chfn: PAM: Authentication failure adduser '/usr/bin/chfn -f Live session user xubuntu' returned error code 1.

I've created the live USB with unetbootin and startup disk creator, changed USB sticks and I'm still getting the same message. Any thoughts?

TheWanderer over 7 yearsDoes it start? I don't really see anything fatal there.

rocioimpa over 7 yearsThe Xubuntu screen appears as if it was loading but it just stays there. Options like "Install Xubuntu" or "Try Xubuntu" never show up.

TheWanderer over 7 yearsI would try redownloading the image then.

Anwar over 7 yearsActually
not a typewriter
is not the main problem and it is actually good that Xubuntu didn't recognize the computer asTypewriter

rocioimpa over 7 yearsYep, so have you got any suggestions? Which is supposed to be the main problem?
