HP machines can be difficult with Linux if you're going to re-purpose a Windows PC.
(bad experiences here.)

Tell me about it...

I looked at the dmesg messages and the first two suggest a TPM problem. I think it's more than just a "disable" of TPM, you need to clear TPM. This article at Ubunut points at those two messages. https://askubuntu.com/questions/926738/cant-load-failed-to-claim-resource-1 Here's an HP arti...

My AMD A12 laptop won't even boot from 18.3 dvd or usb to install, I had to install mint 18 and then upgrade to 18.3 and it runs fine. You may consider trying this. All suggestions are welcome :D Added to the list I was on IRC last night and some helpful folk gave me a few other routes to take also...

how are you installing? separate root/home/swap? open .xsession-errors may be a clu in there. check in terminal dmesg | grep -i "error\|warn\|fail" heres the output [ 0.356650] platform wdat_wdt: failed to claim resource 1 [ 0.356657] ACPI: watchdog: Device creation failed: -16 [ 0.492821...

Sorry for the double posting...

So im checking everywhere i possibly can. The hdd is healthy after Memtest.

I opened up Gparted and noticed sda/1 + sda/2 are not mounted? Is that correct?

Im determined to get this sorted. At the very least im learning, ay

Does anyone have the knowledge and time to help this hopeless case please Ok, if you disabled TPM as per @thx-1138's suggestion then, given all the error messages you're getting, I'm inclined to suggest checking for a BIOS update, and if that doesn't work then testing for hardware errors, starting ...

This is the second or third time ive installed now. As soon as i start installing software such as Cmake it locks up and upon restart im banished to busy box... You have an AMD CPU so it probably has the TPM in the processor. I would recommend that you either try to upgrade the kernel now to the hi...

Thanks very much all... At the very least you've allowed 7 hours of hope that i could be relatively issue free between now and when i get home and reinstall...

Failing that ill see you in 8 hours with a whole bunch of new errors...

Why? => https://askubuntu.com/questions/926738/cant-load-failed-to-claim-resource-1 & https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/12/21/110 So i'd try finding the problematic device / driver (which quite likely it's TPM)... If the OP has a Ryzen, the TPM is built in to the processor, in which case a kernel upgr...

Could someone kindly explain - if possible - the cause of these crashes and walk me through in baby steps a fix to this problem, again, if possible.

Up until these crashes I was really enjoying customising the desktop and i would really like to stick with mint.

Thanks

So. Frustratingly after a couple of hours mooching around the interwebz the computer froze again.

I left if for over an hour hoping it would right itself. It didn't. I rebooted with
Now im back to Busy Box and no idea

Thanks for the reply.

Seeing as it's a new system and I had nothing stored on the computer after only installing mint yesterday I realised it would be easier to just reinstall again.

Do you have any idea what may of caused this, to possibly avoid happening again?

Hey, Me again. So after fixing my Wi-Fi issue I now seem to have a bigger issue. No working OS. Last night dpkg played up and locked up my computer. Today I tried to configure a. Like it requested but that just locked up again. With no way to reboot or restart I had to resort to just turning off the...

This thread.... lol

Lets try a better solution sudo apt install git build-essential dkms git clone -b extended https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git sudo dkms add ./rtlwifi_new sudo dkms install rtlwifi-new/0.6 sudo cd rtlwifi_new/firmware/rtlwifi/ /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/ Reboot I just came back here to say that ...

Thanks for the reply. Everything goes fine until i get as far as building using the command cd rtl8723de make sudo make install and then it throws up this mint@mint ~ $ cd rtl8723de bash: cd: rtl8723de: No such file or directory mint@mint ~ $ cd rtl8723de bash: cd: rtl8723de: No such file or directo...
