i should probably just write a blog post at this point

Yes please, I feel like it's not as common to see such detailed commentaries and walkthroughs of Linux Mint troubleshooting, particularly dual-boot troubleshooting. The Arch Wiki has spoiled me.

ayyy nice!!! I tried to make it dual boot with win7 on my mom's broken laptop (before anyone says anything about vunerabilities: it kind of threw out the Internet driver I couldn't get win7 to connect to the Internet even if I wanted it to)

hit enter too early whoops

(anyways yeah it threw out all things internet related not even the ethernet port worked). it wouldn't recognize mint in the bootloader so if i want to use it I have to mash f9 to select the partition. this wasn't a wise choice on my end but also the laptop was already broken

so yeah dualbooting is a pain sometimes so I'm glad you got that sorted out !!!

i dont think dual booting is what cause the issue.. also, i came across an article that detailed my exact error and the fix. i just think it might be helpful to document the process in a way the average person can comprehend. idk i'm kind of a noob at this too, i didnt know how to do any of this until a few days ago

and just to clarify like. the error was stupidly simple.. it just took a while because i was looking stuff up to make sure i did the install right

im looking forward to reading your post! i might even link to it on my own site if thats ok

what about it isn't working? (because this is sort of my hyperfixation at the moment)

@badgraph1csghost holy shit its so awesome you replied bc you actually kinda motivated me to do this at all LOL

basically, my linux usb was working fine so i shrunk win10 and made a partition (via windows disk manager) to prep for downloading linux. something must have happened between then though bc the next time i tried to boot into linux i got an error that says \EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi not found and import_mok_state() failed: not found. i havent troubleshooted any further cause i needed to sleep :')

if you want to keep talking ab this maybe we could email or sth? let me know

maybe use gparted to delete the partition and then try again, but install it from the live session this time?

idk i mean i'm certainly not an "expert" or anything, i'm just troubleshooting in real time here (also im glad i helped to motivate you :D )

@badgraph1csghost i actually did try to install from the live session, but realize id only shrunk win and didnt create a partition yet. so i booted back into windows to do that and then the next time i tried to start a live session from my usb i was getting the errors. currently on the mint forums seeing what can be done

FOR REALL.. hitting sign up on that site changed my life

jts email and xmpp

Scarily accurate...

Thank you so much! I need to figure out how to make a rotating gallery there so I can show other angles. Sounds complicated.

oo i'll be sure to watch out for that

what messaging softwares do u guys prefer? would really like to get to know more people on here

kik?/s I am not sure, discord?? but not discord??? idk what xmpp is

I only have it for one odd friend, but I'm hifumeme@404.city if you want to chat on xmpp

i've used irc, but the servers i was on weren't very active :(( not quite sure about xmpp (didn't vibe with some clients) but i've heard that it's federated which is nice :]

@avakaszoo its a communication protocal , by "get xmpp" i guess i mean like a client i can use to connect to an xmpp server..think thats the jist

just birthed my xmpp user into life; i'm at ringelstim@paranoid.network if you ever want to talk c:
