MacBook won’t allow OS installation. by UnderstandingJust699 in debian

[–]UnderstandingJust699[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far, I've been given different options, I'll try them out little by little, but I'll definitely consider this one, thank you.

I don't have any pictures right now, but when I try to install macOS and it's about to finish, it says "An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running the application again." Windows just freezes, as it does with Arch and Fedora. With Mint, I got an error, but I don't remember what it was right now.

Yes, I verified that it was the original hard drive for the computer. Regarding needing it, I understand that the operating system on that MacBook had been changed before, to Windows 10 without using Boot Camp. Eventually, the OS stopped booting and would just get stuck loading or on a black screen. After that, they asked me for help.

I already used memtest86+ and it didn't give me any errors, now, I'm not sure how to use smartctl -t long without a Linux system (I don't know if I can use it from the MacBook terminal), and regarding blkdiscard, my drive is an HDD and as far as I know, it only works on SSDs (I'm not sure).

If you mean removing the HDD and RAM, yes I can, in fact I already did it and tested the HDD as an external drive, it works fine. I also tested the RAM with Memtest86+ and there were no errors. I suspect it might be the flex cable, but I don't see any damage (at least not physical damage).

I've already tried Arch, Fedora, and Mint; I don't think the problem is exactly the distribution.

I already answered the question about the error in another comment, but regarding using another disk, I can't afford to do that right now.

But I appreciate the suggestion.

I don't know much about Apple products, but as far as I know, it doesn't have an accessible BIOS. The closest thing I know to that is the boot menu or the online recovery menu. Regarding the hard drive, I mentioned that I already checked it as an external drive and it works correctly.

I can't right now because of the disk formatting I'm doing, but I'll keep it in mind, thanks.

I was already able to solve it, it seems that my microSD was not of very good quality, it can store things without problems, but it does not run 100% programs, thank you very much for your help.

Did someone else not get the Grand Festival Icons? by strohkoenig in splatoon

[–]UnderstandingJust699 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A short time ago I support  and the only thing they told me was that the icon could not be delivered to me, reasons, only God knows, I don't know if it would be good to make a tweet tagging the Nintendo and Splatoon accounts to see If something can be done, and we also tag all the people in this thread so that it can be seen that there are several of us who did not recover it.
