Thanks for the link to the 160 page document. I will get back with you after I read through the whole 160 pages trying to decipher what I need from it. This may take a while though. I understand that GRUB is normally installed on the drive instead of a partition, but that was not my experience...

To say I am frustrated is an understatement. I have Linux Mint Cinnamon installed as my first OS, and then installed Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS as the second, and it could not find GRUB2 and complained about that. I repaired that with Boot-Repair and installed openSUSE Tumbleweed, and it complained...

Sorry, but my laptop does not have the option to update the BIOS from the BIOS and this did not work.

I will give a little background to what I am trying to do. My Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS crashed when Ubuntu released .3 update. After the update, my external display no longer worked. My laptop is an HP ENVY Notebook - 17t-k200 CTO (ENERGY STAR), which has an Nvidia chipset for the external display...

I have a problem that may sound kinda stupid, but I have not been able to find an easy answer. I have an older HP Laptop that I run Linux on. I have Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS, but it crashed hard. That is another story. While installing Linux Mint and other different Linux distros to find the one that...

Thank you. I have been working at this problem for several months and had made no headway. I finally just decided to bite the bullet. I HATE asking for help in the first place. I have always been the that others asked for help, but I have lost so much of my memory and experience. It is hard to...

Yeah, I've already wiped it.

That is why I was trying to get that distro back working. I was stupid and encrypted my 8 TB local cloud and the encryption key was on that distro. I was able to get in once for a while, but while I was asleep, we had a power outage and it shutdown. I was never able to get back in. I am lost all...

Since I am not able to figure this out, I just decided to wipe the drive and start over. I didn't have enough room to back up all the data, so I guess I am going to spend the next few years rerecording all of my CD's and vinyl to digital format. I have close to 3000 music CD's and around 600...

Okay, I was finally able to get logged in. The biggest problem is that after this all happened, I followed a bunch of different threads here on the Internet and one of the things I did from the suggestions was --purge all NVIDIA drivers. I have done several fresh installs on blanks HDs and...

A couple of things first. First off, I was severally injured in the Middle East working for DoD as an IT Professional in 2006. Part of the injuries was another major TBI. Unfortunately, this one left me with several health issues, including memory problems. That incident is why I had to retire...

I am not really sure what to say here exactly, but I have been running Ubuntu on my HP Laptop since 20.04 LTS and had upgraded to 22.04 LTS. Everything was fine until .3 came out and my external video via the HDMI port stopped working and would only boot to the black screen with the flashing...
