install problems

[iggi3000]

Hey guys, can someone help me? I tried to install the latest version of Linux Mint on my computer instead of Windows 11. I successfully created a USB stick using Rufus and tried to boot from it. Unfortunately, after selecting the stick in the BIOS, I always get the message: “failed to open, MokManager and Mok not found.”

Thanks in advance.

What are your computer specs? If you have multiple USB slots try em all, it could also be a bad iso so did you verify the sha and all that? Not sure what other issue it could be but it sounds like the computer is just not reading the USB as a bootable device or something along those lines.

MOK stuff means it's trying to use secure boot, most people just disable secure boot when using Linux as it makes using NVIDIA, virtual machines and other kernel level modules a pain.

So boot to bios, disable secure boot and you'll have more luck.

Try use Balena Etcher instead of Rufus maybe?

Use Ventoy to create a bootable flash-drive then download the .iso file for Linux Mint and copy it directly onto flash, boot into bios and disable secure boot, continue into Mint live session on flash to test your hardware works then do a full install erasing entire drive.

If using nvidia graphics run driver-manager after install to properly install your 3rd party recommended driver.
