I did a fresh (minimal) install of Ubuntu 22.0 on an old laptop. Downloaded Bitcoin core from bitcoin.org, and installed. Nothing else is running on the laptop. I am pruning the node to 20GB (and that seems to be working based on the drive space being used).

I have tried running the GUI and it closed unexpectedly and without any error message. I thought it was an issue with the power controls, so I have turned off all power controls so the computer does not hibernate, or even turn off the screen.

I also tried to run bitcoind from a terminal, and the same happens: during IBD. It got to about 30% (which is about where it got to on the GUI). I repeated with -reindex option, and it happened again, only getting to 12%.


Specs:
Processor: i3-2350M @ 2.3 GHz
Internal HDD (total) 320GB
RAM: 4.00 GB

Results of hardware tests (memtester):

dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1048576 count=2048
64MB/s

dd if=test of=/dev/null bs=104857
58.2MB/s

I am not at the computer, so can't paste debug.log right now, but the only error is about not finding mempool, but continuing anyway. The last line is never an error.
