The suggestions above won't break anything, so "try it. What the "Hades" have you got to lose?" (tongue-in-cheek). We're not talking about Hydroxycloroquine.

If it doesn't work, someone will instruct you about diagnostic tests to pinpoint the source of the problem.

Good that you verified the .iso before installing.

Did you check the integrity of the medium?

The Driver Manager is empty, because it's no longer necessary to install it. It's already installed. To connect wirelessly: 1. Go to the System Tray located in the lower right corner of your screen & click the Ethernet connection icon. https://i.imgur.com/RqIqujS.png 2. Make certain that the &qu...

If consistency, when creating system images, is a reason for changing the initialization of the older device; then 1 Macrium Rescue flash drive, created with the multi-boot option & bootable in both computers, obviates the need for uniformity. In addition to the free version, there is also the 3...

Menu->Administration->Time & Date. 1. Click "Unlock" & authenticate. https://i.imgur.com/wZ3c3SN.png 2. Choose timezone for your location in the drop down menu. If Amarillo is in Central Time, try America/Chicago. https://i.imgur.com/Zs2j16G.png?1 3. Click "Lock". Or via ...

Dual-booting with Chrome OS & LM is a bit of a hassle, because you need to toggle back & forth. There is also the possibility of losing data after each login, which would be rather annoying. Replacing Chrome OS is the way to go. The main difference between your Lenovo N21 & my Acer C710 ...

The Grub Bootloader should appear immediately after the Splash Screen, without having to enter the UEFi. LM should also boot by default, if it had been installed alongside Windows. https://i.imgur.com/NTDjk7Y.png?1 I did not notice the "Check the integrity of the medium" option with the fi...

Had another thought & here is a screenshot of HP laptop & SD card: https://i.imgur.com/9jx3peK.jpg?1 When I had previously tried to format the SD card for the GalliumOS install, Windows said it was write-protected. MiniTool was used to delete all the previous partitions (I don't remember if ...

Had a very similar black screen problem while installing 19.3 Mate on a converted Acer C710 (formerly Chromebook) a month ago. Instead of using Etcher, Rufus burned the .iso. The first attempt at burning failed & returned a 0x80070032 error, which Pete Batard suggests that the difficulty resulte...

In the good old days before UEFI, all you had to do to create a Macrium Reflect Rescue flash drive, was to format a raw drive in Windows File Explorer & Macrium did the rest. The medium that you created in the past will not boot now in a UEFI device. After formatting a new USB flash drive & ...

Before installing, verify the .iso first. It's a waste of time to install a corrupted file. Installation guide for an older version of LM, but the steps are the same. Connect to the Internet & attach a mouse before starting the installation. See "Known Issues" of these Release Notes &a...

Chris, Before you do anything else, it's best to stop for a moment & understand what AHCI is (if you don't already). Here is a good place to start . It is my impression that you've replaced Windows with LM in the SSD (eMMC) drive. Regarding the concern about Windows not booting, the webpage has ...

Your first image from 5/11/20 shows that you are in the Boot tab. The photo is not clear enough to determine if you have a Main tab. If you have a Main tab, do you see this menu? 1.png If you don't see the "SATA Mode: Optane without RAID" item, try pressing ctrl+s to bring it up in the Mai...

Stripping & painting are great counterbalances to mental tasks. As Rumpole of the Bailey said of Hilda, "she who must be obeyed". Aha, the plot thickens... So 19.3 Xfce was installed to the SSD in Legacy Mode; which is like the old BIOS, not the new fangled UEFI! The reason you can't b...

Found this very helpful thread . Best of all, the author, strider2038, has the same UEFI, Insyde v. 1.03. Summary: 1) Enter UEFI & disable Secure Boot. Despite the heavy Russian accent, best video found here . 2) Courtesy of brummyfan2 from the Acer Community forum, Main tab, click "Optane ...

he wouldn't have been able to complete the Installation, if the ISO was bad .. :) The first time I installed 17.1, after login; the corrupted .iso caused my home folder to open in 6-7 windows simultaneously & the Desktop to be pixelated. Since then I've learned to verify the .iso. The system in...

Did you verify the .iso's before installing?

Just saw this post today. Since there have been no replies, I'll make a few, brief comments, in the event that OP has completely forgotten about this post. Dual-boot or replacing Chrome OS with Linux is a fairly similar process for all Chromebooks, when they are supported on the MrChrombox.tech webs...

INTRODUCTION Practically every time you log into your Chromebook, Google reminds you that it is no longer supported. They want you to buy a new Chromebook. Google is richer than Croesus, therefore you do not feel the need to add to their coffers. Your device continues to work well, but there is a c...

Jeanine, I'm going on the assumption that 1) you would like the option of using the Lenovo touchpad as well as the Logitech mouse & 2) you don't have a touchpad tab in the mouse dialog box. As explained in these Release Notes for 19.3 Cinnamon, the installed libinput driver is not compatible wit...
