my dell optiplex 9020 supports the following, how can I run Linux Mint? Your OptiPlex 9020 (Mid 2013) supports these operating systems: Change Product BIOS Windows 10, 64-bit Windows 7, 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 Windows 7, 32-bit Windows 8, 64-bit Windows 8.1, 64-bit Windows 10, 32-bit
it is a desktop. I just made a bootable USB and that failed too. google says I have secureboot, I will try to disable that now
I am finding some negative info about my GPU onboard HD 4600 and Mint. Lots of issues. I have verified the MD5 with other programs as well including downloading a 2nd and 3rd time
I made a live DVD of this release and tried it out on my backup computer and must say that I could easily be persuaded to go with Linux as my primary operating system. I would have a lot to learn but the same was true when I learned CPM years ago before many of you were born. A large question: I went primarily paperless about 3 years ago using a Windows program called File Center and where necessary Adobe Acrobat Pro. Does Linux have anything that might rival these two?
I have issues with my onboard GPU, as well. I ended up installing Mint 17.2, Mate as it's less resource intensive. Another possibility can be Mint xfce, for the same reason. To use my GPU's full capabilities (I don't need to) I'd have to use Mint 13, Maya. Unlike you, I can boot into Cinnamon, both Debian and Mint, but get a pop-up saying (something like) : in software rendering mode, should only be used for troubleshooting purposes, expect excessive CPU usage.
Hi Paragon. Check this thread : https://www.wilderssecurity.com/thre...t-you-use-to-replace-windows-software.379120/ If you can't find what you need there, you could re-ask there. You'll probably reach more eyeballs.
I just tried to install Linux Mint Mate and I get the exact same error after the countdown as cinnamon gave me. Anyone recognize this? MD5 was a match for both versions
It looks like it's trying to mount from the cdrom drive, instead of your local hd. It shouldn't be doing that if you installed and it completely properly. Strange.... You might also want to post something on the Mint Forums and see if anyone knows..
I booted from USB drive I made with Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.6.1. I boot to USB and it boots to count down then goes to that screen
I've never seen Linux installs fail like that unless there was a problem with the installation itself.
If it's Mint, it shouldn't be failing like that. Maybe it's the software that was used to create the bootable usb stick? I usually use either Unetbootin for Linux: http://unetbootin.github.io/ Or Rufus for Win or Linux: https://rufus.akeo.ie/ I think Rufus is a little better personally....
@Holysmoke In addition to what the others have said, a quick search said possibilities include : 1) A bad iso. (most common) 2) If sd card and/or other usb drives are plugged in, unplug before trying your boot. 3) Improper formatting. 4)Some usb drives, whatever the reason, have trouble. Try a different device or a live dvd/cd. 5) Also saw reports that ACPI can cause problems, seemed mostly on laptops.
I have downloaded multiple iso's they all check out with MD5 I also tried to boot with burned DVD and it resulted in the same error do I format the usb to fat 32?
