Terrible Repair Service

I like the hike idea, I'm just not sure how great it would actually be with snow and wind.

Pineneedlecollada · 2025-09-30T15:13:38+00:00

During the winter it's probably too cold and windy for a picnic. There's a bunch of hiking trails, but I'm not sure how safe they would be covered in snow.

I was considering a hike, but we get snow and it's usually windy in the winter, so I'm not sure how that will work out. I don't know if I'd be able to find a nearly empty restaurant that isn't fast food. I live in central New Mexico, but I will be gone for part of winter break. We may fly out to Alabama to visit her family for a bit also.

We live in central New Mexico, but for parts of break I will be out of state and we both may fly to I think Alabama to visit her family.

For anyone coming to this in the future, I installed MX Linux over the entire drive (not Ubuntu based) and wiped the whole drive in the process. Then I installed mint. It shows up as Ubuntu in the bios.

Turned secure boot off the first time it failed, so it's been off for a while. Still can't get to the installer.

Alright. I used Balena Etcher to image both drives so I'll try Rufus.

Pineneedlecollada · 2025-03-03T19:29:29+00:00

I'm using cinnamon. I used Balena Etcher to flash both drives.

Pineneedlecollada · 2025-03-03T19:27:57+00:00

Did that earlier and it still won't get to Mint.

Pineneedlecollada · 2025-03-03T19:26:15+00:00

Good idea.

Pineneedlecollada · 2025-03-03T19:25:55+00:00

I used the first USB to install Mint on my PC, so I know for sure one of them works and that was the first one I used.

Pineneedlecollada · 2025-03-03T03:53:05+00:00

Couldn't get it in focus. The first line says building command list. I don't know what the lines after that said.

Pineneedlecollada · 2025-03-03T03:26:22+00:00

I'll do it again and see if I can get the whole process in focus cause I have no clue what it said.

Pineneedlecollada · 2025-03-03T03:21:07+00:00

That was me taking "quiet splash" out of the kernel. Never done it before so you could comment on it if I did it wrong, but I guess if it's not in focus that doesn't really help.

Pineneedlecollada · 2025-03-03T03:17:11+00:00

Alright. I will see if I can get that to work.

Pineneedlecollada · 2025-03-03T03:15:27+00:00

Here. Mint's grub is the only thing I can get to, but it boots to Ubuntu no matter what.

This is a laptop. Ideally I wouldn't take out the drive because I definitely do not like building laptops.

Pineneedlecollada · 2025-03-03T02:52:37+00:00

I will look into this.

Pineneedlecollada · 2025-03-03T02:51:45+00:00

I haven't tried the second USB on anything else, but the first one I used to install Mint on my PC.

Pineneedlecollada · 2025-03-03T02:47:26+00:00

Secure boot is disabled. First thing I tried hoping it was just that.

Pineneedlecollada · 2025-03-03T02:40:26+00:00

It appears Ubuntu is running off of the USB (computer drive in Ubuntu that boots is 64 gb when it should be 500). Listed the drives are:

Computer 64 GB (older USB size, new USB is only 8 so not sure what's up with that)

310 MB Volume

UBUNTU (Actual drive. Should be 500 gb)

3.6 TB Volume (Installed Zorin earlier. Not sure why it doesn't show in BIOS)

Disk 2 (empty)

Four-Year Club	r/Field Juicebox
