I believe i have found a solution. The fix i found was on itsfoss.com, i have only tested twice and could still revert, but so far it is working. Within windows Use command prompt with admin privileges Use: bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi

I am trying to get windows 10 and linux mint to dual boot... I installed windows 10, then setup a dual boot with a 55/45 drive setup. Linux successfully does it's thing, and all seems well in the beginning. Linux bring up the dual boot screen in grub and both windows and linux boot great. I...

So i was using the built in tools of mint, not terminal, and I noticed I tried out the backup usb I created where it said it was corrupt' and windows read the drive and mounted it after a few minutes, but i was unsure how stable it was so I tried a different usb and it stopped copying half way...

I believe i tried fat 32 because i want to be able to use it in linux and windows, it took a while to copy everything over so i cannot remember exactly. As far as files, it was general stuff, a bunch of pictures, music, iso's, pc dianostic software stuff etc.

Hi, i am fairly new to linux, but i am learning quickly and enjoying my experience for the most part. So i seem to have a common issue between distros, which is probably user related... I am on linux mint, Reading usb flash drives seem to work fine, i recently copied a backup hdd to my pc...

hey, thank you for the info on legacy installs, so i ended up going back to windows for a while and decided to go back to linux the other day, i am in love with the new zorin, and i will definitely try out wine once i get the acer straightened out again. i just re read my post here and may have...

I am more concerned about the hardware compatibility between the 2 versions. I am still fairly new to linux and want to get familiar with the different versions, but i want to make sure it will work before installation, and i believe i answered my own question as i forgot the usb is a live usb...

So i am running kubuntu 18 on my laptops, everything works except my webcam, but im not worried about that! I am curious if in theory if kubuntu 18 runs fine then ubuntu 18.04 lts should also run the same or better?

I mean the screen mirroring like was in android 6 and under, or something like windows version of wifi casting, it worked very well with our tvs. I would use an hdmi cable but i was really looking for a wireless solution

i am new to linux, starting to get used to the OS, i am using kubuntu. i am wondering what i can use to screen mirror from kubuntu?

I have a lot of knowledge in the windows environment, and i always found it to be fascinating. I never was really interested in linux, as previously i felt it was kind of left behind compared to other operating systems of the time, but with googles development and all the great dev's in the...

Thank you for the fast reply! I can get the usb of mint and kubuntu to boot in both legacy and uefi mode, via noapic. The acpi=off stops 4 or 5 additional errors but does not resolve the mmc0 irq error in uefi mode. I did not need acpi=off to install mint in legacy mode. This has been a great...

Update I am able to install linux in legacy mode In efi mode i get mmc0 failed to request irq -16: -22 error

Thank you for the fast reply! I read that article before i decided to install linux on this laptop. The main difference between my install and that article is that his live usb recognized the emmc and properly installed. I will not get the no o.s. error until after i install linux...
