Linux Mint Forums

What are you wanting to do. Install another mint using the link, or fix the one that's already installed?

I'm a little confused. Are you wanting to boot the installed mint or the iso file using g4d?

If you already installed mint then what happen to the grub loader.

Run the following command from a terminal, so we know what we're dealing with:
You might have to use the LIVECD, since linux isn't working.

Sorry as its not in english i cant see what your getting at, but you can use bleachbit to remove additional languages, its in the preferences. I always do that first thing. In fact I unplug the internet right after it collects all needed time and location, so the extra languages don't get in. But I...

Can you find any of these files in a trash somewhere's? How about the log files. Maybe they will point you to when they got deleted.

Are you sure mint was installed on hd0,5 ?

if you issue a 'ls' from the grub prompt, it will list all you partitions.

If mint is on hd0,5 did you try from the grub prompt
grub> configfile (hd0,msdos5)/boot/grub/grub.cfg

If you run the livecd for a period of time, does it too crash? Try it. If not then maybe think of a re-install without the eCryptfs enabled.

Apparently you have eCryptfs enabled. Its giving errors. I con't have Also lost of ethernet . It complains of intel ring: [ 15.835258] intel_rng: Firmware space is locked read-only.

Interesting I find my bluetooth stopped and modemmanager still running.: $ initctl status bluetooth b...

Near the bottom where the install is going on, there is a small triangle that if you click will open a small terminal and show what messages its now displaying. If that doesn't help you can use the ubiquity debug mode to reveal more info. Also log messages will be of great help. Follow the link here .

Since you have a new laptop, your going to have new hardware as well. Its best to just install mint anew. That way you would avoid any conflicts.

If you want you could backup your home partition/folder using the backup icon.

Post the output of this command so we can be of more help:
