Hey all,

I’ll preface this post with I am very new to the bitcoin community and don’t have a ton of experience with Linux OS or Bitcoin core. I recently installed Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on an old laptop, and downloaded bitcoin core from the software center to setup my first node. However, during the IBD process the window began closing without an error. It downloaded the first 25% of the block without an issue, but now bitcoin core will only stay open for 45 minutes to an hour before automatically closing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! 
Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

How much hard drive space do you have / how is it partitioned? Could you be running out? The blockchain is 450+ GB at the moment so you need at least 500GB of space to hold the data (and os and other apps) but even now that is going to run out VERY quickly.

What does the debug.log file say.
If you want to post the last part of it here USE the code tags so it's not a scrolling mess.

It could also be an out-of-memory issue. How much RAM does your system have, and how much is being used when Bitcoin Core is running?

Does it also happen when you run bitcoind (the command line node)?

-snip- It downloaded the first 25% of the block without an issue, but now bitcoin core will only stay open for 45 minutes to an hour before automatically closing.
That may be related.
The earliest blocks are relatively smaller compared to the rest so there aren't too much verification or file size to write.

Please provide more info just as described in this sticky topic: [READ BEFORE POSTING] Tech Support Help Request Format

1TB hard drive, 8gb RAM.
Partition 1:
     537 MB - 530 MB free
     FAT (32-bit version) Mounted at boot/efi
     EFI System
Partition 2:
     1000GB - 956 GB free
     Ext4(version 1.0) Mounted at filesystem root
     Linux Filesytem

Not very familiar with how to change the partition but I'm sure I can figure it out if you have any recommendations. As for space, I wiped the computer when I installed Ubuntu 22.04 so it is completely empty outside of whats been downloaded so far from the IBD.

The bitcoin core version is 24.0.1. What is the best way to open the debug log file?

Open the "debug.log" file as text, it's inside bitcoin core's data directory.

If you haven't set a custom datadir, here's the default data directory: en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Data_directory#Default_Location
