Having problems installing Linux Signal 9 (Killed)

Daniel Vega · Feb 10, 2015

So i have been trying to find a solution to this and for a while I have been trying to get Linux installed I have tried many distros, but none have went past this error but mainly the one I have been truly trying to install the most is ElementaryOS. But my computer just doesn't want to let it through.

My Computer Specs:
12gb Ram
4 Disks 250gb - 500gb
Nvidia Gforce Gaming MSI 750 ti
Intel i5 4440 3.1 ghz
Gigabyte motherboard b85m-d3h

This is the Error:

Modprove clearly doesn't like the look of something. Try a distro which can run as a LiveCD first then install it if you link it.

Any version of Mint should do - certainly anything from Maya onwards or another really basic one is PCLinuxOS from http://www.pclinuxos.com

ok I'll give it a shot. but before I go on to that, I did try Ubuntu with the same error. I never tried Mint because I don't like how similar to windows it looks, I also tried deepin with the same error. Thanks for your response

Edit: I forgot to add that I do run all my distros from a liveCD, elementary I ran it from a live CD because the USB gives me the same error so I though it might have been my USB.

Daniel Vega :

This appears to be a problem with the kernel's userspace tools. It does not like something that it's finding while attempting to automatically load drivers. Changing distros is unlikely to help because they all use the same kernel tools.

how would I go about fixing this than? because I did try to install Linux Mint with no success.

This is the error screen I got on Mint:

I can't read a single thing in that image

I can just about read it, but I see no errors or panics. The only error message in the first screenshot doesn't look to be fatal. It may be a silly question, but how do you know the install fails? Most distributions will allow a text install (you'll have to read the installation instructions to see how to do this). I would try this as it may be a simple graphics problem.

Good shot - if you have the option of an onboard alternative to that GeForce graphics adapter, switch your monitor to the onboard.

I believe the error:

Code:

conflicting fb hw usage nouveaufb vs EFI VGA - removing generic driver

indicates some error with the default opensource nvidia driver "nouveau".

In your BIOS/UEFI can you disable the[integrated] intel graphics and try again?

thank you all, it was exactly what McHenryB, Sega lout & skittle suggested, it was a graphics problem, I first ran the install with "nomodeset" sudggested by someone in ubuntu forums and than I deactivated the integrated graphics because other graphical issues occurred, but now its working very smoothly

Thank you very much for your time.
