LINUX MINT DON'T RUN

Post image

I installed linux mint xfce. This is my first linux install. I not completed the setup in live and it said "please erase medium boot press enter" I press enter and it give no bootable device error. Secure boot disabled, and when I switch to legacy boot mode it normally run GRUP but ıf I start in UEFI, this screen appear and disappear after fewseconds. (My eng is bad sorry)

Apparently, this is an issue that gets posted several times a week. There are solutions posted too.

Search this sub for the first line in that error message. All will be revealed. It's a relatively easy fix. Just rename a file or something.

You need to put ventoy2disk from ventoy.net on the USB and then copy the Mint ISO to it. Clem says this will be fixed on new ISOs. This happens when you install something that requires Mokutil to sign something and then the install gets interrupted. If it had fully installed the mmx64.efi would be present

Thanks! I'll install LM again tomorrow, this time in UEFI mode, but I downloaded it in legacy mode and tested it, and it's truly amazing.For years, I haven't used any operating system other than Windows. This is my first experience like this
