Linux mint installation problem

[donnerkebab1730]

have been trying to get linux mint working on my new pc and i cand for the life of me, it started with only working in compatibility mode, then when i changed the boot thingy to nomodeset (as seen here) it started working, but once i had installed it to my ssd, it would not boot.

it may be something to do with the drivers however i have not been able to figure it out (rx 580 if that helps)

any solution would be much apreciated

remembering what?

I'm beginning to think that loss of memory only come with age - old age that is!
I turned 87 the other day {can't remember which day}. Never in my life would I have thought I would last this long.
One day at a time is my motto.

now we may be getting somewhere, so its built as a gaming machine
your RTL appears to me to have the wrong driver set
take a look at this

Should I run the commands that were posted there?

 

[Brickwizard]

You can only try

For some reason it's not loading the correct amd Graphics driver. It's loading ati:vesa and it should be AMDgpu.
That is a kernel function. But it may be worth a try to install the driver from AMD or through the PPA found here.

OK I am going to throw in a side step.. using another computer download burn to usb and run live MX21ahs [release candidate]
this is not a final approved release but i would be interested to see if it works for you [i have been running it at odd times on a spare drive]

would it work because i have tried other distros and im pretty sure its just a driver thing

 

[Brickwizard]

It might the AHS stands for advanced hardware support, I am not saying fully install just run it live and see

 

[donnerkebab1730]

ok

 

[donnerkebab1730]

it wouldnt be possible that i dont have secureboot enabled by accident right, because i couldnt find it in my mobo bios when i looked

 

[Brickwizard]

your only testing not installing

Your motherboard was released in 2020, I doubt that it doesn't support UEFI/secure boot.

didnt work

 

[donnerkebab1730]

just blackscreens
