Hello everybody!
A few days ago i got, as replacement for a stolen Laptop with Mint, a Dell Latitude 7490 with W10. So after making a little research i read somewhere that Mint and Latitude won't go well, and decide to go with Manjaro. I follow all the instruction to the best of my knowledge and got Manjaro KDE running in my system as the only OS. The problem is that whenever i turn on the machine it goes very smooth until it gets to the login screen where it full freeze: Can't move the mouse, can't write a thing, anything... And the light in the Caps Lock begun to twinkle (which meant some kind of memory problem). If i boot the system having the USB stick (where i have the ISO burned of Manjaro) pluged in everything goes perfectly (and no, i'm not in the live session, i'm working from the SSD where it is installed).
I run some hardware testing and nothing appeared to be wrong
I searched everywhere for a solution and found none for this exact problem. I tried reinstalling GRUB, triple check that it is working as a UEFI installation without Secure Boot, and tried another Kernel with no avail. So... after a lot of frustration i decided to try Mint (worst case scenario, i would have to go back to W10) and... it happened all again.
Sometimes it takes a few seconds and i can actually log in, sometimes it happens right away, but if the stick is there, all goes perfect until i decide to remove it. After that it could, again, happens right away or it could take more time or, in a very strange moment, not happen at all (or take more time than my observation time).
I'm very lost with this as it feels as if that USB is now some kind of security key for a car with electricity lock
Thanks!!!
Here goes my specs in case you know of some incompatibilities:
