GNU GRUB version 2.12

I am not familiar with dell laptops.....

But......the place for Secure Boot will likely be under Security

I've Disabled Secure Boot.

Ok....install again and see how it goes

I do apologise. I thought I typed the bios settings requirements into your thread/post......but it must have been another post somewhere else on the site here.

Yes, go into bios, and Disable Secure Boot. Also disable Fast Boot....(some call it fast start)

Then try installing again

I have also disabled Fast Boot.

Disabled Secure Boot . . . Disabled Fast Boot . . . Reinstalled Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon. Once I removed the usb and pressed enter, the laptop restarted and immediately, the same message appeared: GNU GRUB version 2.12.

We still have a few choices here..

in the bios, I believe there is also a setting to choose between MBR and UEFI

'Switch' it to uefi

Be sure to Save the changes

 

[Condobloke]

The uefi switch, may look like this

Turn it on

This video shows dell bios.....it may not look the same as yours, but the basics will be the same

disable secure boot on dell Inspiron 3593 at DuckDuckGo

Another possibility....in bios....look for 'raid' settings......and set that to AHCI

While this user gets dumped to GrUB's CLI i think he should take benefit from it to investigate, starting with the variables. Or boot a LIVE Linux with HardInfo pre-installed and check a few basics, like MBR vs GPT, whatever, etc.
