Have you created a network connection? If not, go into network connections and create one.

Got it fixed by changing the line: to and removing the reference to $workdir in the line starting with -b

Kadaitcha Man, thanks for the reply. I've double checked the location several times. I even copied the file to a different location and used the actual location in the script instead of using the variable.

I'm using xorisso to build an iso using the following script: #!/bin/bash # The example names get mapped to their roles here orig_iso="$HOME"/iso/foxclone.iso new_iso="$HOME"/iso/foxclone025-02.iso mbr_template="$HOME"/isohdpfx.bin workdir="$HOME"/work echo $HOME echo $workdir is workdir # Extract M...

trytip, it wont boot from a USB that's EFI, only Legacy. I need EFI support.

g'night.

I spoke to early, on reboot I'm back to the grub prompt.

Going to bed. Will work on it tomorrow.

@rene - that took me to the login and desktop. A big thank you. Now I'll edit fstab so it has the correct UUID.

@rene thanks for the effort but it didn't work. The UUID has changed and I get the following message. :mount: /: can't find UUID=xxxxx-xxx-xxxx-xxxxx

Is there a way to mount a partition by identifying the UUID? I got the new id by running blkid.

Thanks for the reply, Rick. I'm the only user on this machine. For some reason, the entire partition is now read only so can't edit anything. I'm running 19.3 and set a root password so I may try logging into tty1 as root and changing permissions. Note: I found that I can boot from a legacy USB, but...

This started with a problem getting my machine to boot at all (see https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=308349 ). I managed to get it to a tty1 prompt and ran blkid and cat /etc/fstab and found an error for sda2(/) UUID in fstab. Now I need to know how to edit fstab while in a tty promp...

I managed to get to a tty login using the following: grub> set root=(hd1,gpt2) grub> linux /boot/vmlinuz-5.0.0-37-generic root=/dev/sda2 grub> initrd /boot/initrd.img-5.0.0-37-generic grub> boot Ran blkid and cat /etc/fstab and found an error for sda2(/) UUID in fstab.

Per subject, I'm unable to post any information about the machine. It is a refurbished Thinkpad T450 and was working fine earlier today. I've run all available test thru the bios and all came out OK. I was able to run boot repair disk but that only made things worse. Now can't even boot from USB. I'...

@JerryF the OP stated that he installed XFCE, not Cinnamon. I threw the GParted comment out there so they could ask about it and learn about a basic tool.

The config file for your Windows ftp client that works correctly.

As long as you never connect to the 'net from Win7 you are safe. Smart move to disconnect ethernet cable when in Win7 but you also have to disable wireless.

Hope this helps,
