Big problem: no mint menu, cant do anything after fresh inst

Post by Kozz »

So I did a dualboot option trough windows with wubi.

When it loads it says something like AU.... (i forgot) mintmenu cannot load. And something with Ice.

And that caja needs read and write acces.

But yeah, i cant do anything, dont have a menu. And when i tried to load firefox trough alt 2 it didnt boot.

So there must be some serious issues. Tried twice, same problem. And cannot switch to gnome desktop even on login, only mate, last session and something with user i think.

Is it because I encrypted the files?

It was a "custom install" for the 32bit version to get wubi to work, found here:

Did everything it said and installed it into /dev/loop2 root disk

Mint works fine from live cd and had a previous hd install without any problems

Cause the other guy in the tut said it needed to be installed in loopx where it says ext4

It was indeed the encryption that caused a problem. Now it works fine inside windows mbr.
